Audrey Schuh (born June 11, 1931, New Orleans, Louisiana) is an American operatic soprano. She studied at Loyola University of the South. Her first leading role with the New Orleans Opera Association (at the age of eighteen) was the page-boy Oscar in ''Un ballo in maschera'', opposite Jussi Björling, in 1950. She starred there in ''Don Giovanni'' (as Zerlina), ''Carmen'' (as Micaëla), ''Amelia al ballo'', ''Falstaff'' (as Nannetta), ''Die Fledermaus'' (as Roselinde von Eisenstein), ''Hänsel und Gretel'' (as Gretel), ''La bohème'' (as Musetta), ''La traviata'' ''La bohème'' (as Mimì), ''Markheim'' (world premiere), ''Turandot'' (as Liù), ''Elektra'' (as Chrysothemis), ''Pagliacci'', and ''Il tabarro''. Schuh also sang Nannetta in ''Falstaff'' for the San Francisco Opera. She sang with the Houston Grand Opera (''Madama Butterfly''), the New England Opera Theatre (''La traviata'' and ''La rondine''), the Jackson Opera Guild (''Pagliacci'', then ''Die Fledermaus'' with Virginia MacWatters) and the San Antonio Opera Guild (''Markheim''). In 1967, she appeared at the New York City Opera for a memorable season at its new theatre at Lincoln Center: ''La bohème'' (as Mimì), ''Madama Butterfly'' (directed by Frank Corsaro), and ''Suor Angelica'' (conducted by Julius Rudel). She made a moving return to the New Orleans Opera in 1977, again as Micaëla, which was her Farewell. One of her sons, the tenor Kirk Redmann, appeared with the Metropolitan Opera from 1983-90. From 1994-99, VAI issued several of Schuh's New Orleans performances on Compact Discs. ==Discography== * Verdi: ''Un ballo in maschera'' (S.Morris, Björling, Rothmüller; Herbert, 1950) () VAI * Verdi: ''Falstaff'' (della Chiesa, Warren; Cellini, 1956) () VAI * Puccini: ''La bohème'' (Albanese, di Stefano, Valdengo, Treigle; Cellini, 1959) () VAI * Floyd: ''Markheim'' (Treigle; Andersson, 1966) () VAI * Puccini: ''Turandot'': excerpts (Nilsson; Andersson, 1966) () VAI * Strauss: ''Elektra'' (Borkh, Resnik, Crofoot, Rayson; Andersson, 1966) () VAI 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Audrey Schuh」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
