What’s in a Name: Detroit Tesoro


Recommended Posts

  • Journalists

DETROIT TESORO may not sound as an operatic name for this winning filly, but it is. The dam is Bella Traviata and Giuseppe Verdi’s “La Traviata” is the ideal opera for some, and definitely one of the most popular. The most famous song (romanza) of “La Traviata” is “Parigi O Cara” “Paris, Oh Dear”. I do not know where Detroit comes from (owner’s prerogative), but in Italian Tesoro (treasure) is definitely a synonym of Cara as a term of endearment. I am exhausted and I rest my case.
