EUPHROSYNE PAREPA-ROSA
Extremely rare signature from the operatic soprano and Carl Rosa Opera Company founder, dated 1869
Autograph sentiment signed: "yours very truly/Euphrosyne Parepa Rosa/Chicago Sherman House/Oct 27th 1869", in black ink, 5x2¾. British soprano Euphrosyne Parepa-Rosa (1836-1874) is known for her establishment of the Carl Rosa Opera Company with husband Carl Rosa, and her own successful opera career. Debuting at age 16 in a performance of La Sonnambula, Parepa soon began touring across Europe, landing performances in Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Germany. She originated the role of Victorine in 1859, followed by the role of Mabel in Helvellyn. Widowed by her husband in 1865, Parepa later married violinist Carl Rosa in 1867, and soon after formed their opera company. The highly successful and influential Parepa-Rosa English Opera Company toured across America and Europe, briefly changing it's name to the Carl Rosa Opera when Parepa became pregnant and had to take a break from performing. However, the name would never return to it's original form, as Parepa died in childbirth in 1874. Toned. Slight stains in center of card. Otherwise, fine condition.
