[[Ancarina Massimimi]] was an Italian opera singer, who, it seems, visited South Africa in 1894-5 under the auspices of impresario [[A. Bonamici]], possibly with his [[Lyric Opera Company]].

She is specifically mentioned as performing the leading role in an (unnamed) Italian operatic comedy , put on at the [[Opera House]] Cape Town at the start of 1895, but even though Boonzaier (1923) considered the [[Lyric Opera Company]] as consisting of excellent performers, the particular piece failed to gain much public support and the undertaking was ultimately "a disastrous failure".

-She is specifically mentioned as leading an (unnamed) "[[Italian opera company]]", that put on a season of operas at the [[Opera House]] Cape Town late in 1894. An interesting facet was the fact that the company was virtually a double one, with two distinct casts doing the same opera on alternate nights. However, even though [[D.C. Boonzaier|Boonzaier]] (1923) considered the large company as consisting of excellent performers who maintained "a high standard of excellence … in all the works they performed", the particular season failed to gain much public support and the undertaking was ultimately "a disastrous failure".
