First Licia Albanese dies at 105; now Magda Olivero passes away at the age of 104. How many 100 year old opera singers are there?

I'm surprised that there are that many (so far). What was even more remarkable was that Teresa Saporiti was a contemporary of Mozart ! (I looked it up). The oldest mentioned in the answers above was Hugues Cuenod--he might have celebrated his union with his partner at 105--but he didn't actually die until 108! 13Across lost "points" because Emilia was not a real person--just a character in an opera. I was looking for real people.

Thanks for taking the time to answer.

Hugues Cuénod (1902-2010) made it to 108. What's more, he and his life partner took advantage of a recently-enacted Swiss law to enter into a civil union when he was 105 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugues_Cu%C3%A9nod

Emilia Marty (aka Eugenia Montez aka Ellian MacGregor aka Elina Makropulos etc) (1585-1922) has everyone else well beaten, though https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Makropulos_Affai...

Well, obviously two fewer than before.
