The chicken tetrazzini was made famous by chef Louis Paquet. The dish is named after the Italian opera star Luisa Tetrazzini. She was compared very favourably with Amelita Galli-Curci, Luisa Tetrazzini and others. Eva Tetrazzini, elder sister of the famous Luisa Tetrazzini participated in the premiere. In this and other roles she was said to surpass Tetrazzini. The Winter season of 1899 brought Tetrazzini back to St. Petersburg. Tetrazzini left little behind when she died in Milan on April 28, 1940. After World War I, Tetrazzini largely abandoned the opera stage for the concert platform. Tetrazzini first sang "Lucia di Lammermoor" in Buenos Aires on November 21, 1892.
