La Stilla

Italian prima donna opera singer from the 1892 novel Le Château des Carpathes (The Carpathian Castle) by author Jules Verne, better known for his pioneering sci-fi than this gothic-y, romantic-type stuff.

Freaked out by a stalker who goes to all her shows (Baron de Gortz), La Stilla accepts the marriage proposal of Romanian Count Franz de Telek, but dies onstage singing Arconati's Orlando.

Later at the Baron's creepy castle, Telek thinks he hears her singing.
