Description
MARIA MICHAILOVA (MIKHAILOVA) (KHARKOV, 22 MAY/3 JUNE, 1864 – PERM, 18 JANUARY, 1943)
Her mother’s surname was van Puteren, and she was of Dutch ancestry. She studied for three years in St. Petersburg with Z. P. Grenning-Vilde, then approximately four years in Milan with S. Ronconi, and in Paris with Saint-Yves-Bax and De-Laborde.
From 1892 to 1912, she was a soloist at the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg, where she made her debut as Margherita in Gli Ugonotti by G. Meyerbeer. During her career, she also performed in Orel, Tambov, Odessa, the Moscow Bolshoi Theatre (1902), Vladivostok (1903), Kharkov, and various cities in Siberia (1909). She made guest appearances in Prague (1903), Bulgaria, Serbia, Greece, Austria, and Japan.
She possessed a flexible, well-processed voice with a “silvery” timbre and a wide range. She also had a notable coloratura and an attractive stage presence.
