Yvonne Gall

Yvonne Gall (6 March 1885 – 21 August 1972) was a French operatic lyric soprano.

She went on to specialize in French lyric roles, particularly Marguerite, Manon, and Thaïs, though she also sang some dramatic roles such as Tosca, Elsa, and eventually Isolde.

She sang in the premieres of Raoul Gunsbourg's operas Le vieil aigle (1909), Le cantique des cantiques (1922) and Lysistrata (1923), and the American premiere of Ravel's L'heure espagnole.

Gall took part in one of the first complete opera recordings made by Pathé under François Ruhlmann with the chorus of the Opéra-Comique: Roméo et Juliette (Gounod) (1912).
