Teresa Titiens

Teresa Titiens (1834-1877) was a famous operatic singer, born of Hungarian parents in Hamburg. She made her début in 1849 at Altona, in the character of Lucrezia Borgia (1849), and soon took rank as the foremost singer on the German lyric stage. She appeared with triumphant success in London (1858), and henceforth made her home in England, associated herself with the management of Mapleson. She visited America in 1875. Her commanding physique and powerful acting, together with her splendid voice, made her an ideal interpreter of such tragic characters as Norma, Fidelio, Margarita, Ortrud, &c.
