Isabella Colbran (2 February 1785, Madrid—7 October 1845, Bologna) was a Spanish opera singer known in her native country as Isabel Colbrandt. Many sources note her as a dramatic coloratura soprano but some believe that she was a mezzo-soprano with a high extension, a soprano sfogato. She collaborated with opera composer Gioachino Rossini in the creation of a number of roles that remain in the repertory to this day. She was also the composer of four collections of songs. <a href="https://www.las
