Everything about C Lestine Mari totally explained
Célestine Marié (November
1840 –
September 22 1905) was a French
mezzo-soprano, most famous for being the original
Carmen.
She was born Célestine Marié de L'Isle in Paris. She was taught singing by her father, who was an accomplished musician. Her début came in
1859 in
Strassbourg, and she soon married a sculptor named Galli (d.
1861). She then took the stage name of Galli-Marié.
Émile Perrin, the director of the
Opéra-Comique, heard her performing at
Rouen and brought her to
Paris. She sang at the Opéra-Comique until
1885, premiering in
La serva padrona (
Pergolesi). Her most famous roles were in
Mignon (
1866) and
Carmen (
1875). She performed in
London at
Her Majesty's Theatre in a touring production in
1886, and returned to the Opéra-Comique in
1890 to sing in a fundraising performance to erect a monument to
Bizet. Her voice was described as being of a good timbre, with clear diction and phrasing. She died in
Vence, near
Nice.
A high mezzo-soprano voice is sometimes referred to as Galli-Marié. Galli-Marié parts are now often sung by
sopranos. A major exception to this is the title role of
Carmen.
