GEORGETTE
FROZIER-MARROT (1894 - 1978)
She was a member of the Grand Opéra in Paris from 1924 to 1929,
performing roles such as Dalila in Saint-Saëns's Samson et Dalila, Didon in Berlioz's Les Troyens, and Hérodiade in Massenet's opera of the same name.
In 1928, she gave successful performances at Covent Garden in London as Dalila
and Carmen, appearing alongside Fernand Ansseau and Marcel Journet. In 1929,
she joined the Opéra-Comique in Paris, where she sang Carmen, Margared in
Lalo's Le Roi d'Ys, and other
roles. Over the following twenty years, she appeared at leading theaters across
provincial France and, from 1929 onward, frequently at the Monte Carlo Opera.
As late as 1950, she was a guest artist in Strasbourg, performing Brangäne in Tristan.
Recordings: Her beautiful voice was first captured in Pathé
recordings. In 1929, two recordings from Les
Troyens were released by HMV; however, these soon disappeared from
catalogs and are now extremely rare.
