DER ROSENKAVALIER


After studying in her native Barcelona, in 1910 she made her debut at the Teatro Colon, in Buenos Aires, with Tomás Breton's Los Amantes de Teruel. In 1911, she sang Octavian´s part in Strauss´ Rosenkavalier in Rome. She performed in the United States and, afterwards, in Italy, she rediscovered rossinian parts for mezzo coloratura. Rosina, Isabella or Angelina came back to life through her voice. She was hailed as a controverter Carmen on account of her composition of the part. In addition, she sang a great number of lieder, as well as popular Catalan and Spanish songs.

The album includes five pieces from Frasquita, Franz Lehar's operetta, premiered by Supervía in Paris in 1933.
