Adele Passy-Cornet

Adele Passy-Cornet (22 January 1838 – 2 November 1915) was a German opera soprano singer.

Born in Braunschweig, Passy-Cornet was a daughter of the opera singer couple Julius and Franziska Cornet.

Afterwards she sang in Austria and appeared among other things at concerts at the Viennese court.

At the age of 27, Passy-Cornet got an engagement at the Theater am Kärntnertor in Vienna in 1865 and made her debut there with outstanding success as the "Queen of the Night".

Although she achieved great success in a short time and could choose her engagements, she soon devoted herself only to singing occasional concerts.
