[2] Caselotti debuted with the San Carlo Opera Company in Los Angeles in 1927 in that city's Philharmonic Auditorium.
She was particularly noted for having sung the title role in Carmen more than four hundred times, and she also appeared notably as Azucena in Il Trovatore.
Bagarozy wanted to start his own opera company, but ultimately found the enterprise beyond his abilities.
[citation needed] Caselotti and Bagarozy managed the career of a promising Greek-American soprano, Maria Callas, and introduced her to the Metropolitan Opera's general director Edward Johnson.
[2] Caselotti's younger sister, Adriana, was the voice of Snow White in Walt Disney's 1937 Technicolor animated feature.
