Brigida Lorenzani (1805, Brescello, Emilia-Romagna – 9 March 1881, Lucca) was an Italian operatic contralto.
Lorenzani started singing professionally in 1820 and soon began appearing at the historic La Scala opera house in Milan.
[2] The German composer Giacomo Meyerbeer created the role of Felicia in Il crociato in Egitto for Lorenzani, who starred in the premiere at La Fenice in 1824.
She was part of the premiere cast in such operas as Caritea, regina di Spagna (1826), Elvida (1826), Gli arabi nelle Gallie (1827), and Il Montanaro (1827).
When Nerici fell ill, Lorenzani retired from the stage to care for her husband and family.
