Operatic lyric soprano
|
Marie Decca was the stage name of Mary Smith (née Johnston; after first marriage, Chrisman; after second marriage, Smith; 1859-unknown), an American lyric soprano operatic singer. She became known as the "Jenny Lind of America". Loomis (1898) described her voice as having the remarkable range of three octaves, reaching to the phenomenal pitch of A natural in alt, while Willard & Livermore (1893) described her as a soprano of flexible and remarkable range, reaching F natural, with exquisite tone and strength. Her stage name was rendered as her veritable cognomen was Johnston, but Johnston and Italian don't mix well. So her music teacher made her sing a piece beginning d, e, c, c, a, and that "deccarated" her with a mellifluous name.
