The Blenheim-born soprano Rosina Buckman (1881-1948) had a distinguished career as an opera singer, and as a concert artist and teacher. One of the greatest Isoldes of her age, an outstanding Aida and Butterfly and a touching Mimi, she sang with Melba and Martinelli at Covent Garden and during the years of the First World War became principal dramatic soprano of the Beecham Opera Company.
