A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Cauvini

CAUVINI, an Italian singer, described by Lord Mount-Edgcumbe as 'a very pretty woman and pleasing actress,' who appeared about 1812, in 'Così fan tutte.' Another singer of the same name, perhaps her husband, whom the same critic calls 'a very respectable tenor,' appeared with her in that opera, with Tramezzani and Naldi, all new to the English stage. They joined the party, including Morelli, Bertinotti, Collini, and the youthful Miss Stephens, which was driven by Catalani to secede to the Pantheon. Nothing further is known of the Cauvinis.
