Portrait of the English soprano, Nancy Storace, circa 1788. The role of Susanna in Mozart's opera The Marriage of Figaro was written for and first performed by her. Mozart also wrote the concert aria "Ch'io mi scordi di te?" for her, often considered to be one of his greatest compositions in that genre.
