Josephina Huguet
Josefina Huguet i Salat, also known by the pseudonyms Giuseppina Huguet and Josephine Huguet, (22 September 1871– 10 November 1950) was a Catalan operatic soprano with a lyrical voice who sang throughout Europe prior to World War I. Although Huguet often sang coloratura soprano parts, such as Rosina in Rossini's Il Barbiere di Siviglia, she also undertook the verismo roles of Mimì in Puccini's La Bohème and Cio-Cio-San in Puccini's Madama Butterfly. Her complete repertoire contained a wide range of roles: from The Queen of Night in Mozart's The Magic Flute to Nedda in Leoncavallo's Pagliacci. |
