More on Zinka Milanov
Description from Wikipedia:
Zinka Milanov née Zinka Kunc (May 17, 1906 in Zagreb, Croatia – May 30, 1989 in New York City) was a Croatian-born operatic dramatic soprano.
Born in Zagreb, she studied with the Wagnerian soprano Milka Ternina and her assistant Marija Kostrenčić. She also studied in Milan with Campi and in Vienna with Stickgolt. On October 29, 1927, she made her operatic debut as Leonora in Giuseppe Verdi's Il Trovatore in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Her debut in her native Croatia, at the National Theatre in Zagreb, took place five weeks later as Marguerite in Charles Gounod's Faust
After an early debut in Dresden (November 5, 1928, also as Leonora), her great teacher, Milka Ternina was not pleased and much work commenced to perfect her technique. She performed in Zagreb and Ljubljana almost exclusively for the next six years. Later she became a member of the New German Theater in Prague, where all performances were sung in German. She was discovered by Bruno Walter, who recommended her to the famous conductor Arturo Toscanini for a performance of Verdi's Requiem in Salzburg. In 1937, she made her debut at the Metropolitan Opera, once again as Leonora. At that time she adopted the name Milanov, which was the stage name of her second husband, an actor. According to Milanov herself, "Kunc" wasn't "glamorous" enough for the Metropolitan Opera.
In 1947, Milanov left the Met when she married, for the third time, Yugoslav general and diplomat Ljubomir Ilić, and returned to live in her native country for several years.
She gave her final performance in 1966. After her farewell, Milanov remained active as a teacher.
She died in New York.
