She sang on the opera and concert stages, for recordings, and in radio concerts, and appeared in three films. Early life[edit] D'Alvarez was born in Bootle, though she is sometimes mentioned as being born in Peru.[1] Her father, Benjamín Álvarez de Buenavista,[2] was a Peruvian diplomat,[3] and her mother was French. Her brother was also a diplomat.[4] She studied at the Brussels Conservatoire.[5] Career[edit] D'Alvarez made her debut in Rouen in 1907, singing in Samson and Delilah.[6] After further studies in Paris she made her first American appearances with the Manhattan Opera Company in 1909[6] as Fidès in Giacomo Meyerbeer's Le prophète. Following her season in New York City, she went to London to help Oscar Hammerstein inaugurate his London Opera in 1911; that year, she scored great successes in French roles.[7] D'Alvarez subsequently appeared at leading European opera houses such as Covent Garden, and also sang in Chicago and Boston, and made a tour of Australia[5] and New Zealand[8] after World War I. In 1923, she was praised by Queen Mary after a recital at London's Queen's Hall.[3] She was guest soloist at a concert in Indianapolis in 1925.[9] She sang in radio concerts in 1926 and 1927.[10] In 1929, she headlined in a "Pan-American Program" in Washington, D.C.[11] In 1926, d'Alvarez defended jazz from its European detractors, including composers Richard Strauss and Pietro Mascagni. "I want to live to the tunes of Irving Berlin and go to my grave while Whiteman's orchestra plays the Gershwin 'Rhapsody in Blue'", she said in response. "It is the twentieth century itself — energy, spice, sparkle and flavor. Those who deplore it belong in the mummy case. It is speed and fun."[12] D'Alvarez made several acoustic recordings in New York, including arias from her operatic repertoire and Spanish songs by Falla, Chapi and Tabuyo.[6][13] She also made three films, Till We Meet Again, in 1944, An Angel Comes to Brooklyn (1945) and Affair in Monte Carlo (1952).[14] Her autobiography, Forsaken Altars, was published in 1954.[5] ARTIST: HUTCHINSON THEME: ENTERTAINMENT KEYWORDS (TEXT & IMAGE): ACTRESS, ACTOR, ARTIST, SING, SONG, DANCE, MUSIC, ENTERTAINMENT, FASHION, CLOTHING, FUR, SOPRANO, BAND, BALLET, WAR TIME, THEATER, STAGE, MARGUERITE, LACE DATE PRINTED ON ITEM: YES ADVERT SIZE: APPROX- 9" x 12-1/2" ITEM GRADE: VERY GOOD CONDITION: CLEAN, STAIN IN BOTTOM STAIN IN LEFT AND RIGHT, STAIN IN TOP LEFT CORNER, PERFECT FOR FRAMING AND DISPLAYING.
