High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Pauline Viardot [nee Garcia] (18 July 1821 – 18 May 1910) was a leading nineteenth-century French mezzo-soprano, pedagogue and composer of Spanish descent. Her name appears in various forms. When it is not simply "Pauline Viardot", it most commonly appears in association with her maiden name Garcia or the unaccented form, Garcia. This name sometimes precedes Viardot and sometimes follows it. Sometimes the words are hyphenated; sometimes they are not. She achieved initial fame as "Pauline Garcia"; the accent was dropped at some point, but exactly when is not clear. After her marriage, she referred to herself simply as "Mme. Viardot". Michelle Ferdinande Pauline Garcia was born in Paris to the Garcias, a Spanish opera family led by her father, tenor, singing teacher, composer and impresario Manuel Garcia . Her godparents were Ferdinando Paer and Princess Pauline Galitsin, who provided her with her middle names.
