Angela Peralta: The Career of the 'Mexican Nightingale' as Opera Singer

The tech giant noted that Angela Peralta was widely considered as one of the most significant Mexican opera singers during her time. 

Before her debut, Heavy noted that Peralta showed a gift for singing at an early age. The Mexican operatic soprano made her debut at the Gran Teatro Nacional, one of Mexico's 19th-century premier opera houses, at 15 years old. 

According to Billboard, Angela Peralta performed Verdi's "Il Trovatore," which paved the way for her career in Italy.

In 1862, the Mexican opera singer was asked by the audience to be back on the stage about 23 times when she performed "Lucia di Lammermoor" in Milan. 

From 1865 to 1875, Angela Peralta toured extensively as she performed in different places such as New York, Europe, Mexico, and Havana. In 1871, the "Mexican Nightingale" returned to Mexico, where she had her homecoming performance also in Gran Teatro Nacional.

Aside from being an opera singer, harpist, pianist, and composer, Angela Peralta proved that she could do something else as she was also an entrepreneur. The operatic soprano founded her own opera company in Mexico while performing throughout the country. 

Despite being successful, Angela Peralta was not always on top of the world. The "Mexican Nightingale" was shunned by society when she and her manager became a couple after the death of her husband, leading her to perform in smaller cities of Mexico.

Angela Peralta met her demise when she arrived in Mazatlán, a city that was hit by the Yellow Fever pandemic. The Mexican opera singer caught the disease and died at the age of 37.

Google Doodle

It was not the first time Google used doodles to recognize or commemorate significant events across different countries.

The tech giant noted that they started the Google Doodle back in 1998 when founder Larry and Sergey played with their company logo as they attended the Burning Man Festival in the Nevada desert.

The first Google Doodle only featured a stick figure behind the second "o" of their logo. In 2000, the first event that Google celebrated was Bastille Day, wherein the founders tasked an intern to produce a doodle for the occasion.

Google mostly celebrated renowned holidays on their doodles, but they now highlight a vast ray of events. To date, Google created about 4,000 doodles for their homepages around the world.
