Richard Edgcumbe in England - early 19th Century
from Musical Reminiscences: Containing an Account of Italian Opera in England, From 1773. The Fourth Edition, Continued to the Present Time, and Including The Festival in Westminster Abbey., page 112:
Marconi, an excellent singer and very genteel actress; but her voice was the deepest contralto of a female’s I ever heard […] If Marconi’s voice was too low for a prima donna, she would have been of infinite use to the theatre for contralto parts, and an admirable performer of male characters in the serious opera.
