Geraldine Farrar: A Visionary Soprano of the Early 20th Century This head-and-shoulders portrait showcases the enchanting beauty and poise of the renowned American soprano, Geraldine Farrar. Taken around 1916, the image reveals Farrar's striking features, with her expressive eyes, delicate nose, and elegant neckline accentuating her refined elegance. Her dark, wavy hair frames her face, adding to her allure and charm. Born on July 22, 1882, in New York City, Geraldine Farrar began her musical studies at a young age. She made her operatic debut in 1903 at the Metropolitan Opera in New York, where she quickly gained recognition for her exceptional vocal abilities and captivating stage presence. Farrar's repertoire included a wide range of roles, from the tragic heroines of Verdi and Puccini to the comedic roles of Mozart and Rossini. Farrar's innovative approach to opera extended beyond her performances. She was an advocate for recording technology and made several recordings, becoming one of the first opera singers to do so. Her recordings helped to popularize opera and expand its reach beyond traditional audiences. This portrait captures the essence of Farrar's magnetic personality and her undeniable talent. It serves as a testament to her enduring legacy as one of the most influential and beloved sopranos of the early 20th century.
