In the 18th century, Venice had four ospedali where young orphan girls were raised at the state’s expense, with the most gifted having to devote themselves to music. Contributing to the opulence of the Serenissima, and drawing travellers from across Europe, these conservatories allowed women—for one of the first times in history—to sing in public during religious services. Their music was like the city itself: luminous, effervescent, and magnificent.
