Parque Lincoln

This guide to Parque Lincoln centers on the amphitheater named for Angela Peralta, the Mexico City-born soprano who sang at eight years old, debuted at the old Teatro Nacional at fifteen, and became the first Mexican to perform at La Scala in Milan at seventeen. You'll hear how the capital's high society turned against her in her thirties after a scandal involving her manager, and how hired hecklers drove her off her own stage. The guide follows her decision to leave Mexico City and build a touring opera company instead.
