Maria Carena was an Italian singer represented in the Pristine catalogue through the 1930 La Scala recording of Verdi’s Il trovatore with Aureliano Pertile.

The performance places her with Apollo Granforte, Irene Minghini-Cattaneo, Antonio Gelli and La Scala orchestral and choral forces.

Because wider public biographical detail is limited, this note remains tied to the recording evidence and its early Italian opera context.
