Ahhhh! I remember singing this piece at the magnificent Covent Gardens during my farewell concert on June 8th, 1926. It is titled 'Addio di mimi' from Puccini's 'La Boheme', a quite amazing piece to sing.

This building you see hear is the Metropolitan(The Met) Opera House, which is located in Manhattan, New York. I sang at The Met in New York and Chicago, I even reeled The Met audiences to Oscar Hammerstein's new theatre and saved the house financially.  Knowing this makes me feel very accomplished!

Royal Opera House "Covent Garden"

The Royal Opera House "Covent Garden" is  located in London, England, where I performed many wonderful productions and concerts many times. Though the first time I performed there, they hardly fancied me!? Yet somehow I managed to allure the influential patroness Lady de Gray to take me under her wing. I later returned instead as Donnezetti's Lucia.
