Marion Lignana Rosenberg

Marion Lignana Rosenberg (/ma.ʁjɔ̃ liˈɲaːna roːsən.ˈbærg/; December 8, 1961 – November 28, 2013) was a writer, music critic, translator and a broadcaster and journalist who blogged for WQXR Operavore and had a weekly column called Prima Fila for La Voce di New York.

She also wrote an entry on Maria Callas for Notable American Women: Completing the Twentieth Century (Harvard University Press).

[citation needed] Rosenberg died suddenly on the night of November 28, 2013, of a pulmonary embolism following Thanksgiving dinner at a friend's house in Endwell, New York.

[5] The essay "Re-visioning Callas", published in (the now-defunct) USItalia, won a Front Page Award from the Newswomen's Club of New York, and represents the germ of her most acclaimed project.

Offered up on the occasion of Callas's 90th birthday, this article acknowledges but righteously dismisses the 'petty, salacious lore' of the woman's private life and celebrates the performer's extreme dedication to her art [and] her lasting gifts to music.
