New Zealand-born, Australian-raised operatic lyric soprano (May 31, 1879, Christchurch, New Zealand - September 18, 1952, Venice, Italy).

She achieved fame during the first three decades of the 20th century due to her outstanding singing voice, fine technique and colourful personality, as well as her frequent onstage partnerships at the New York Metropolitan Opera with Enrico Caruso.
