Lillian Blauvelt

Lillian Blauvelt (1873–1947)[1] was a popular opera singer in New York City and internationally in the first decade of the 20th century.

Forty years later his list of the finest artists he had ever worked with included Ferruccio Busoni, Fritz Kreisler, Pablo Casals and Lillian Blauvelt.

In the ninth season of Symphony Concerts for Young People, 1904, the program was devoted to works by Bizet, Gounod, Verdi, and Richard Wagner.

[9] The following month Alice Roosevelt Longworth attended a concert given by the Bar Harbor, Maine, Choral Society, during which Blauvelt sang.

Her first venture after the pact was made was a production of The Rose of Alhambra, written by Charles Emerson Cook and Lucius Hosmer.

[12] She was a soloist for a February 1905 New York Symphony Concert given at Alexander Hall on the campus of Princeton University.

[14] Blauvelt was chosen to sing the soprano portion of a Verdi composition at a memorial concert to the composer held in Rome, Italy, in 1905.

A review said that her superb voice and style had changed very little, but that by rushing the air in Rejoice Greatly, she diminished its importance to the audience.
