Agnes Janson

Agnes Sofia Charlotta Janson, married name Fischer, (1861–1947) was a Swedish mezzo-soprano opera singer and recitalist who later moved to Australia. After her debut in April 1883 at the Royal Swedish Opera as Azucena in Verdi's ''Il trovatore'', she remained with the company until 1885. Thereafter she sang mainly in recitals, principally in the United Kingdom but also other major European concert halls. In 1906, she settled in Australia, where she taught voice at the Melbourne Conservatory until her retirement in 1927. Provided by Wikipedia
