Muriel Dickson

Pinafore, Mabel in Pirates, the title role in Patience, Phyllis in Iolanthe, Lady Psyche in Princess Ida, Yum-Yum in The Mikado, Rose Maybud in Ruddigore, Elsie in Yeomen, and Gianetta in The Gondoliers.

[6] On 15 May 1936 Dickson made her Met debut as Marenka in Bedřich Smetana's The Bartered Bride, conducted by Wilfred Pelletier, with Mario Chamlee as Jeník and George Rasely as Vasek, the latter of whom partnered with her in many operas.

[7] Time magazine wrote that she "exhibited a sure, clear voice, a pleasing professional stage presence and a diction so polished that it was difficult to believe that the D'Oyly Carte once frowned on her for a burry Scottish accent.

[7] Her last performance at the Met was on 15 January 1940 as Musetta in Giacomo Puccini's La Bohème with Bidu Sayão as Mimi, Jussi Björling as Rodolfo, John Brownlee as Marcello, and Gennaro Papi conducting.

She retired from singing, and although Covent Garden offered her the role of Octavian in Der Rosenkavalier, she declined and never sang publicly again.

For the next decade, she worked as an antiques dealer, but in 1955, she joined the faculty of the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, teaching there for the next 21 years.
