Georgette Bréjean-Silver

Georgette Bréjean-Silver (née Georgette-Amélie Sisout; 22 September 1870 – August 1951) was a French opera singer (coloratura soprano).

In 1890 she made her debut at the Opéra National de Bordeaux, whose director Gravière married her.

She had her first great success in the title role of the opera Manon by Jules Massenet at the Opéra-Comique in 1894.

She embodied the role so convincingly that Massenet composed an additional gavotte for her for the Brussels premiere of the work.

Further important roles were Rosina in Gioacchino Rossini's The Barber of Seville, Philine in Ambroise Thomas' Mignon, Euridice in Claudio Monteverdi's L'Orfeo, Leila in Georges Bizet's Les pêcheurs de perles and Rosenn in Édouard Lalo's Le roi d’Ys.
