Carlotta Patti (c. 1840 – 27 June 1889[1]) was a nineteenth-century Italian operatic soprano and older sister to famed soprano Adelina Patti. Various sources list her birth year as 1835,[1] 1840,[3] and 1842.[4] Born Florence, Italy into a musical family, Patti studied the piano in her youth before following her younger sister's inclination toward singing. As a child, Carlotta developed a handicap which caused a noticeable limp in her walk. Due to this condition she mostly avoided operatic performances and preferred to sing on the concert]stage. Carlotta studied voice with Hermine Küchenmeister-Rudersdorf.[5] While not able to achieve her sister's level of acclaim, Carlotta nonetheless received top billing in concerts in the United States, Great Britain, and Australia.[1][4] She was known for her extensive vocal range, reportedly being able to reach a G sharp in altissimo.[6] She often sang songs such as Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen that highlighted this extensive range.[1][7] She made several concert tours with the French baritone Jules Lefort.
Patti died of cancer in Paris on 27 June 1889.
