FROM ALBUM NOTES BY GIAN-LUCA PETRUCCI:
In the vast and complex music history, the female figure was generally limited in a sort of obligatory structure that allowed a little chance of affirmation.
The women musicians could aspire to be refined performers, pleasant talents, composers with a public of devoted admirers in the domestic sphere. Rarely something more professional could increase the quality and quantity of their works in relation to the rapid development of the lexicon of the period.
For these reasons, the work of Anna Bon, a mysterious and fascinating character of the Europe of the great courts, appears extraordinary.
Daughter of the famous Venetian architect, scenographer and painter Girolamo Bon and the Bolognese singer Rosa Ruvinetti, Anna has no biographical records except those taken from the frontispieces of the three works that she had the honor to publish between 1756 and 1759. (Translation by Anne-Jones Nicoletti)
Composer(s)
Anna Bon di Venezia (b?Russia, ?1739/40). Italian composer and singer. She was the daughter of the (?Venetian) scenographer and librettist Girolamo Bon (Boni, Bonno, Bono, Bonn, Le Bon, Buon, Bunon) and the Bolognese singer Rosa Ruvinetti Bon. In 1743, at the age of four, she entered the Ospedale della Pietà in Venice as a pupil. She probably rejoined her parents at some time during their engagements at St Petersburg, Dresden, Potsdam and Regensburg between 1743 and late 1754. By 1755 she and her family were in Bayreuth in the service of Margrave Friedrich of Brandenburg Culmbach and his wife Wilhelmine, sister of Frederick the Great. After Wilhelmine’s death in 1758 music at Bayreuth declined. In 1759–60 the Bon family all sang in opera performances directed by Girolamo in Pressburg. On 1 July 1762 the three Bons were contracted to serve the Esterházy court of Prince Nicolaus at Eisenstadt, where Anna remained until at least 25 April 1765 (Haydn wrote several roles for her mother). By 1767 she was resident in Hildburghausen, married to the singer Mongeri.
