Page "Mathilde Marchesi" Paragraph 3

It was in this field that she would become famous.

She taught at conservatories in Cologne and Vienna and in 1881 opened her own school on the Rue Jouffroy in Paris, where she was to remain for most of her life.

Ultimately, she was best known as the vocal teacher of a number of great singers.

The most famous among them is perhaps Nellie Melba, but she also trained such illustrious singers as Emma Calvé, Frances Alda, Ellen Gulbranson, Selma Kurz and Emma Eames.

Marchesi died in London in 1913.
