Do you know of a Madame Rosalie from St. Petersburg in the 1950's ? She is alive and I visit her. I would like to make a CD of her recordings.

I am searching for some recordings of some distant cousin of my great-grand-father, her name was Alice Regina Nikitina, who became an opera singer after being a famous ballerina in Diaghilev's balles russes. I know that she sang "O Goddess wise" in Gibert ans Sullivan's "Princess Ida" (in the title role)and she also sang in a Verdi opera. Would you please help me? It would be a thrilling experience for me to hear one of my famous ancestor singing...
