Emma Eames TALKS on radio in 1939 about her soprano roles and Victor discs Enrico Caruso etc.

"For the sake of young singers I have been asked to say a few words about my voice and my career...I had a very flexible voice with a natural trill..." Emma Eames discusses on radio in 1939 her Grand Opera soprano roles, playing her old records between her commentary. Here I present only the rare commentary, the records themselves being available elsewhere. She had retired from the operatic stage two decades before this radio broadcast. Paris had been her main residence for a long time; she moved to New York in 1936. She was renowned for the beauty of her voice, singing major lyric and lyric-dramatic roles in opera. She was also known for physical beauty, her image widely duplicated in magazines. Her records issued by the Victor Talking Machine Company are still prized, a few being somewhat easy to find since they sold relatively well, others being scare. I've met record collectors who swoon when hearing Eames on records. Others have claimed that she comes off as "cold" on those discs. She was born on August 13, 1865, in Shanghai, China. In 1889 she debuted in Paris playing Juliet in "Romeo et Juliet." She was 24 when first playing the role of Juliet, who is 13 in Shakespeare's play. Eames continued to perform as Juliet and eventually looked old for the part! In 1929 Emma Eames wrote an autobiography titled "Some Memories and Reflections." She was married twice but had no children. Her first husband was Julian Story. Next she married baritone Emilio de Gogorza--a fellow Victor Talking Machine Company recording artist. The husband and wife recorded some titles. Both marriages ended in divorce. She died at age 86 on June 13, 1952, and is buried in Oak Grove Cemetery in the town of Bath (Sagadahoc County) in Maine.
