Minnie Tracey (1873 or 1874 - January 29, 1929)[1] was an American high lyric soprano.[2]
Tracey was born in Albany, New York. She studied music abroad,[1] including three years' training under Belgian operatic soprano Marie Sasse.[3]
In 1890, Tracey debuted in the Geneva Opera House[4] in the role of Marguerite in Faust. She received several curtain calls, and "Her success was unprecedented in the case of a debutante in Geneva."[3] She created roles in some operas written by her friend Jules Massenet, and she sang with Caruso in London.[1] Other cities in which she performed included Bordeaux, Marseilles, Milan, Nice, and Paris.[2]
While Tracey lived in Cincinnati, she "was a dominant factor in the city's artistic life."[5] Her contributions included arranging a Mozart festival and achieving radio broadcasts of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra.[5]
On January 29, 1929, Tracey died at her home[1] in Cincinnati, Ohio, at age 55.[6] The following Sunday, a music column in The Cincinnati Enquirer praised her contributions as a music educator and "impresario of musical events".[5]
