FRENCH SOPRANO JANE MORLET (1879-1957) CDR

 

JANE MORLET (PARIS, FRANCE, 22 JANUARY, 1879 – PARIS, FRANCE, 24 DECEMBER, 1957)

 

 

She began her career at the Paris Théâtre Trianon, where she became the first soprano of the theater following its transformation into an opera house in 1908. She performed there until 1916, and in 1911, she created the title role in the French premiere of Ruggiero Leoncavallo’s Zazà.

After her successful stint in opera, she transitioned into operettas and eventually became a prominent actress, performing in French theaters until 1950. Her versatile talent allowed her to navigate both the operatic and theatrical worlds, contributing to her lasting legacy in the performing arts.
