Minnie Egener

In 1906 she moved to Italy and spent the next several years performing in operas with various theaters throughout that nation.

In 1910 she performed the role of Alissa in Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor with Luisa Tetrazzini at the Teatro Regio di Parma; she also appeared in small roles at Covent Garden and at the Manhattan Center.

In 1914 she returned to the Metropolitan Opera, where she performed mostly comprimario roles for the next eighteen years.

Most notably, Egener performed in the original productions of Frederick Delius's A Village Romeo and Juliet in 1907,[2] Reginald De Koven's The Canterbury Pilgrims in 1917, Puccini's Suor Angelica in 1918, Albert Wolff's opera L'oiseau bleu in 1919, Deems Taylor's The King's Henchman in 1927, and Taylor's Peter Ibbetson in 1931.

Egener made a few recordings for the Victor Talking Machine Company including the famous 1917 recording of the Sextet from Lucia di Lammermoor with Enrico Caruso and Amelita Galli-Curci.
