Lucrecia Arana

Lucrecia Arana (Haro, 23 November 1871 – Madrid, 9 March 1927) was a Spanish soprano-contralto singer.

As a young woman, she moved to Madrid for singing lessons with the best teachers of the time.

In 1887, at the age of fifteen, she made her debut with a minor role in the play "La mascota" at the Teatro Price in Madrid.

Arana died in 1927 of a stroke in her home and was buried in the Cemetery of San Justo, in Madrid.

Her husband carved a medal with her image which has since been awarded as a prize for the most outstanding singer at the Madrid Royal Conservatory.
