Studs Terkel remembers Rosa Raisa (1893-1963)
prima donna of the Chicago Opera, circa 1915-1940.
"Raisa! How does someone your age know Raisa?...She had a magnificent voice. She was the greatest Norma, ever...better than Callas. She loved to sing with Caruso. He invented the gramophone. Any immigrant who could put together twenty- five cents could buy a record of Caruso singing 'Celeste Aida'!
