Jim - 'Cantatrice' still exists but probably only in the gardens of those who like to grow the historic daffodil varieties. Registered in 1936 by Guy Wilson, it is now considered an historic cultivar by the ADS. I can not find it listed in any of the specialty daffodil catalogs that I have. You might try contacting Old House Gardens to see if they have or can find a bulb or two for sale. If you liked 'Cantatrice', you might like 'Silent Valley', a slightly newer variety with similar form.
