MELBA [NELLIE PORTER ARMSTRONG] (1859 )

This article appears in Volume V18, Page 90 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MEC-MIC
MELBA [NELLIE PORTER ARMSTRONG] (1859 ) , British operatic soprano, nee Nellie
Porter
 
Mitchell
 , was born at Burnley, near Melbourne, Australia, her father being a contractor, of Scottish blood. She sang at a local concert when six years old, and was given a good musical education. In 1882 she married Captain Charles Armstrong, and in 1886 went to study singing in Paris under the famous teacher, Madame Mathilde Marchesi, whose daughter, Madame Blanche Marchesi, also a famous
singer
 , was associated with her. In 1887 she made her debut in opera at Brussels, taking the stage-name of Madame Melba from her connexion with Melbourne. In the next year she sang the part of Lucia, which remained one of her famous roles, at Covent Garden, London; and, though critics complained of her coldness as an actress, her liquid voice and brilliant execution hence-forth made her famous as the greatest successor to Patti, in pure vocalization, on the operatic stage. She maintained this position for over twenty years, her triumphs being celebrated in every country.
See the " authorized " biography by Agnes G. Murphy (1909).
