Rosa Streitmann

Rosa Carola[1] Streitmann, von Jenny from 1885[2] and Benvenisti from 1888[3] (21 February 1857 – 30 July 1937) was an Austrian operetta singer and singing pedagogue.

She is said to have first enjoyed ballet training with Virgilius Calori [pl], but then turned to singing under pressure from her parents.

[5] In June 1876 she made her debut at the Carltheater in Offenbach's Schönröschen[6][7] at the world premiere of Franz von Suppé's Boccaccio she sang the role of Fiametta.

[3] Her engagement in the Theater in der Josefstadt, which she began in 1889, ended with mutual recriminations and a trial,[10] from which Streitmann finally emerged victorious.

Streitmann died in the Vienna General Hospital at age 80 and was buried at Wiener Zentralfriedhof on 2 August 1937.
