Mabel Garrison (April 24, 1886 - August 20, 1963), was an American soprano from Baltimore, Maryland who sang at the Metropolitan Opera from 1914-1921.
[edit] BiographyGarrison studied singing at the Peabody Conservatory[1] Her teachers were W. E. Heinendahl and Pietro Minetti. She later studied in New York with Oscar Saenger and Herbert Witherspoon.[2]
Using her married name of Siemonn, she made her stage debut with the Aborn Opera Company in Boston as Philine in Ambroise Thomas' Mignon in 1912.[2]
She joined the Metropolitan Opera in 1914, making her official début as Frasquita in Georges Bizet's Carmen in November 1914. She substituted at short notice for Raymonde Delaunois as Urbain in Les Huguenots the following month. She replaced Frieda Hempel as the Queen of Night in The Magic Flute. In 1918 she took the role of the Queen of Shemakha in Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov's The Golden Cockerel, covering for Maria Barrientos.[2]
After her final Lucia at the Metropolitan in 1921 she performed in Europe for several years. She sang Rosina with the Chicago Civic Opera in 1926 and later took part in a series of Baroque operas under Werner Josten in Northampton, Massachusetts, which included the American premiere, in English, of George Frideric Handel's Serse in 1928 and Rodelinda in 1931.[2]
She died on August 20, 1963.[1]
