Speranza

Zelia Trebelli-Bettini (1838–1892), also known as Zelia Gilbert or by her stage name Trebelli, was a French opera singer.

Mme Trebelli's artistry was greatly admired by George Bernard Shaw, who wrote about her a number of times in his various reviews.

In particular, he admired her interpretations and her exemplary English diction, rare for a non-native English speaker.
