Overview
[...]of Saariaho's achievement, British composer Dame Ethel Smyth made news again as the first woman to have an opera performed at the Met. [...]following Saariaho's achievement and the Met's 2018 decision to commission new works by Jeanine Tesori and Missy Mazzoli,2 I chose to reexamine this milestone, and whether it was such a failure, in light of rediscovered primary evidence, including dozens of newspaper and magazine articles and Smyth's private letters. [...]I identified language that specifically connected Smyth to \"society,\" both British and American. Collectively, the columns also describe her childhood in a military family, her desire to seriously study music by the age of twelve, her decision to study specifically at the Leipzig Conservatory, and her connections to royalty, including Queen Victoria and the ex-Empress Eugènie of France.
