I am researching the soprano Phoebe Strakosch. The only recordings I've traced are a group of Bettini cylinders by a "Mme Strakosch."
She is singing Madame Butterfly in England in English in 1905 and was one of the Butterflys in Henry Savage's touring Butterflies during 1907-8
Has anyone any recordings of hers?
There is a photo in a scene from Butterfly in the LA Times, terribly reproduced in its on-line dubbing. Has anyone any other photos of her?
Other pertinent info would be welcomed.
