Lithograph on album page. 490 x 305mm. 19¼ x 12". Foxed.
Pauline Viardot Garcia (1820-1910) was a leading French mezzo-soprano of the nineteenth century, pedagogue and composer of Spanish descent. She was close friends with the likes of Clara Schumann, George Sand, Hector Berlioz and Charles Gounod. Camille Saint-Saens dedicated 'Samson et Dalila' to her, and wanted her to sing the title role, which she declined on account of her age. She sang the title role of Gluck's opera "Orphee et Eurydice" at Theatre Lyrique in Paris in November 1859, directed by Hector Berlioz. She died in 1910 and her body is interred in the Montmartre Cemetry in Paris.

Vietti. Role d'Arsace (3.me Acte de Semiramide).
Lith. Tischulanoff.
[n.d. c.1850.]
Lithograph on album page. 400 x 297mm. 15¾ x 11¾". Time stained.
Probably Carolina Vietti, who was in Venice at La Fenice and known to Venetian audiences in 1843/44. It is recorded that she sang Semiramide in Torino in 1832-33. She was known by Verdi, who wanted to write the part of Ernani for her, however it was changed to Tenor for Carlo Guasco. While this has been catalogued as Carolina Vietti, this could also be Rosina Pico-Vietti, recorded to have sung the same role and also a contralto primarily in the USA and Havana; she was married to Adelindo Vietti who also performed at La Fenice. Semiramide is an opera by Gioachino Rossini, based on Voltaire's tragedy Semiramis. The opera was first performed at La Fenice in Venice in 1823. The role of Arsace, the Commander of the Assyrian army is usually played by a Contralto.
