Title A name given to the resource Annotated opera score for Lohengrin by Richard Wagner, signed Nellie Armstrong, Paris, 22 April 1887 Subject The topic of the resource Objects of Fame: Nellie Melba and Percy Grainger Description An account of the resource This opera score was inscribed prior to Melba’s adoption of her famous stage name in December 1887. A derivation honouring her native city of Melbourne, the name was selected to sound Italian and be easily remembered. Despite her success as Elsa in Lohengrin, Melba’s voice was not suited to heavy Wagnerian operas. After her disastrous attempt at singing Brünnhilde in Siegfried in 1896, she stopped performing these roles.
