Rose Caron - Sigurd (1904)

Rose Caron (1857-1930) sings from “Sigurd” opera by Ernest Reyer.

She created the role of Brunehild in Sigurd in 1884--she sang the role at the Paris premiere in 1885.

Ernest Reyer’s Sigurd, from 1884, is a French opera that uses the same source materials that inspired Richard Wagner’s Siegfried and Götterdämmerung.

Reyer’s opera was popular in its day but is forgotten today.

Rose Caron was a French operatic soprano.

Caron was born in 17 November 1857 at Monnerville and studied at the Paris Conservatoire.

She made her concert debut in 1880.

Marie Sasse helped her to get engagements at the opera in Brussels.

Her first operatic appearance in Brussels was as Alice in Meyerbeer's Robert le Diable, followed by Salomé in Massenet's Hérodiade and Marguerite in Gounod's Faust.

The title roles in Benjamin Godard's Jocelyn (1888) and Reyer's Salammbo (1890) and were also created by Caron in Brussels.
