  "Minnie Hauk (1851-1929) Minnie Hauk (Amalia Mignon Hauck) was an American soprano. At age fourteen she made her debut in Brooklyn as Amina in "La Sonnambula," and a month later, in November, 1866, her New York City debut as Prascovia in "L'Etoile du Nord." In the American premiere of Gounod's "Romeo et Juliette" (1867) she sang Juliette. Hauk debuted in Paris in 1869 and in London that same year. The soprano then appeared in Italian and German opera throughout Europe. Hauk was the first American Carmen (1878) and Manon (1885). Her voice became a mezzo-soprano of great strength and depth. Hauk's enormous repertory included approximately one hundred roles and she sang Carmen in four languages. " www.picturehistory.com/product/id/21369

  I blame a cruel corset for the less than comfortable look on her face; what an inhumane practice that was. The hip to waist ratio is aberrant.
