Rosine Stoltz (born Victoire or Victorine Noël) (13 January 1815 – 28 July 1903) was a French mezzo-soprano.[1] A prominent member of the Paris Opéra, she created many leading roles there including Ascanio in Berlioz's Benvenuto Cellini, Marguerite in Auber's Le lac des fées, the title role in Marie Stuart, and two Donizetti heroines, Leonor in La favorite and Zayda in Dom Sébastien.

She trained with Alexandre-Étienne Choron.[2] Stolz died in Paris, the city of her birth, aged 88.

Career

Her place of prominence at the Paris Opera was influenced by her relationship with the director, Léon Pillet. Pillet refused to mount an opera without a role for his mistress; this was one reason for the long-delayed première of Meyerbeer's opera Le prophète, as the composer, who could not abide Stolz, insisted on Pauline Viardot for the role of Fidès. In view of the circumstances, Donizetti decided to abandon his original project for the Opéra, Le duc d'Albe, and instead composed La favorite with the role of Leonor perfectly suited for Stoltz.[3]

Stoltz resigned from the Opera in 1848 after a scandal developed over her relationship with Pillet.[4] She may have had a child with Pillet, as they traveled Le Havre for a time due to her "indisposition".[5] She was married for a while to a theater director in Brussels, and later married into the aristocracy.
