  1. Ader and Puccini were lovers late in his life and it is believed that the role of Liu in Turandot was written with her voice in mind. Puccini's wife Elvira either didn't catch on to this love affair or just didn't care any more, but the liaison was untroubled by any of the jealous uproars she had created earlier in the composer's life.

  2. Rosa Ader also sang in London as is shown in the archives of the Royal Opera House at the invitation of the King. She married a Sicilian nobleman, Count Trigona, Prince of Calvaruso and they had one son, Count Antonio Trigona who accompanied her on the piano in later life. He had no children of his own and died a few years ago.
