Bidú Sayão, (Balduina de Oliveira Sayão), Brazilian coloratura soprano whose technique, personality, and acting ability made her one of the most popular stars of New York City’s Metropolitan Opera in the 1930s and ’40s; in her 236 performances there from 1937 to 1952, she performed 12 roles, including Mimi in La Bohème and the title role in Manon (b. May 11, 1902, Rio de Janeiro, Braz.—d. March 12, 1999, Lincolnville, Maine).
Sayão was born on May 11, 1902 in Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil as Balduína de Oliveira Sayão. She was married to Giuseppe Danise and Walter Mocchi. She died on March 12, 1999 in Lincolnville, Maine, USA.
She is considered Brazil's most sucessful sopranist opera singer. Made U.S. debut in Carnegie Hall in 1934. Sang in the Metropolitan Opera 1936-1952. The "Bidu Sayão International Vocal Competition" held in Brazil each year is named in her honor.
Following her husband's death in 1963, Bidu Sayão lived quietly at her home in Maine. She returned to visit Brazil a last time in 1995 for a tribute to her during the Carnival in Rio de Janeiro, and died a few years later, aged 96, at the Penobscot Bay Medical Center in Rockport, Maine. Her ashes were scattered across the bay in front of her home.
