Giulia Warwick

She then studied singing under Madame Sainton-Dolby and sang regularly at the Berkeley Street Synagogue with her elder sister Annie (died 1897).

By 1873, the teenager was performing with the Kilburn Musical Society in William Jackson's oratorio Isaiah and, later that year, in the Covent Garden promenade concerts.

[1] In 1876, under her stage name, Giulia Warwick, she joined the Carl Rosa Opera Company to make her operatic debut in soprano roles at the Alexandra Palace as Zerlina in Mozart's Don Giovanni, then played Arline in Michael Balfe's The Bohemian Girl and Marzelline in Beethoven's Fidelio, both at the Lyceum Theatre.

Warwick continued to perform with that company for the next three-and-a-half years, making 224 appearances in seventeen operas, including in the British premieres of Piccolino by Guiraud (as Elena) and the English adaptation of Ponchielli's I Promessi Sposi (as the mother).

[2] Other roles included the Gipsy Queen in The Bohemian Girl, Clara in The Siege of Rochelle by Balfe, Bianca in The Taming of the Shrew, Ritta in Zampa, Paquita in Carmen and Martha in Faust.

In 1891, with her own "Giulia Warwick Opera Company", she played the title-role in the French musical comedy Madame Cartouche, composed by Léon Vasseur.

In 1896 she played Aunt Barbara, alongside May Yohe, in The Belle of Cairo, where she received a warm review as a "very tiny woman, with a big voice and vivid personality".
