Rosina Palmer
Australian opera singer (1844–1932) / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rosina Martha Hosanah Palmer (née Carandini; 27 August 1844 – 16 June 1932) was an Australian opera singer. Born in Hobart, she developed a soprano voice early on and accompanied her mother, opera singer Marie Carandini, on tours, singing with her family troupe. Palmer moved to Melbourne with her husband in 1866. Although she had a low income, she later became a successful singing teacher. Musicologist Thérèse Radic wrote that although she was gifted, Palmer was constrained by her social position as a married woman, as was typical of her contemporaries.
