MADELEINE MATHIEU ( ARCIS-SUR-AUBE (AUBE), 15-06-1891 - PARIS, FRANCE,
03-01-1994)
She studied singing at the Paris Conservatoire under the pedagogues
Cazeneuve, Gailhard, and Isnardon. She made her debut in 1913 at the Paris
Opéra-Comique as Anita in Massenet’s La
Navarraise. She had a long-standing career at this opera house and was
heard there in roles such as Carmen, Tosca, Butterfly, Suzuki in Puccini’s Madama Butterfly, Santuzza in Cavalleria Rusticana, and the
Princess in Henri Rabaud’s Marouf.
In 1921, she appeared as a guest at the Teatro Liceo in Barcelona in the
premiere there of Vincent d'Indy’s L'Étranger.
In 1922, she achieved one of her greatest successes when she performed the role
of Carmen—her signature role—at the Zurich Music Festival. After retiring, she
worked in Paris as a respected pedagogue and was, among others, the teacher of
Robert Massard, Margaret Mas, and R. Gardes.
