Maggie Teyte (soprano)
Maggie Teyte was born at Wolverhampton. When only thirteen her father sent her to study the piano at the Royal College of Music. Then she was sent to study singing in Paris under Jean de Reszke. Within three years she made her debut at a Sunday night concert at Monte Carlo with Paderewski. Since that time she has appeared in opera in most parts of Europe and America. One of Miss Teyte's most important rôles was Melisande in Debussy's Pelleas and Melisande. It may be remembered that Debussy himself selected Miss Teyte as the successor to Mary Garden , who first appeared in the title role.
