Zinaida JURJEVSKAYA, Russian soprano, 1896 (?) - 1925

The career of this beautiful singer lasted only three years, but during that time she established herself as a front-ranking artist. We know very little of her early life, even the date of her birth is not certain. She and her family left Russia after the revolution in 1917 and came to Berlin where she began  with vocal studies. She immediately showed remarkable talent. In 1922 she made her debut at the Berlin Staatsoper in Rimsky-Korsakov’s The Golden Cockerl (in German). . She made highly successful guest appearances in Paris (Sophie) and Amsterdam. She also introduced some of Prokoviev’s songs. It would appear that she was on the way of making a great career when in the summer of 1925, on a visit to Andermatt in Switzerland, she took poison before throwing herself into a mountain river and drowned.
