TREVILLIANA
Being thoroughly American in her indomitable pluck and perseverance., ambitious and exceedingly fond of travel, she left America with the firm intention of singing in all the artistic centers of Europe, before returning home, during the past nine years she has been heard in France, Belgium, England, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Roumania, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Russia, Spain, where he sings in the various languages of the countries, and her “wanderlust” took her to Egypt and Algeria, where she was induced to give some special performances at the opera houses at Cairo and Algiers. Singing several months of each season at the famous theatre de la Monnaie, in Brussels, she there established her residence, and when at home, her musical Fridays are the rendezvous of artists and musicians passing through Brussels. Thus the singer has accompanies with her voice such virtuosi as Ysaye, Cesar Thomson, Kubelik, Thibaul Gerardy, etc., etc., at her own receptions.

On arrival in Europe it proved a far from easy task to secure a hearing, for, in spite of her French father, she was proud to call herself American, and was therefore considered a “foreigner.” After appearing, however, in a concert in Paris, she was immediately engaged at the Opera Comique.

From Paris, de Treville went to Stockholm, singing at the Royal Opera. It was at this time that the prima donna had her first interview with royalty. The late King Oscar having commanded her to appear at the Palace, the young singer repeated over and over the formula of address she was told she should use, All went well till after a delightful conversation with the venerable sovereign, the singer suddenly realized it was getting late, and, springing up from the seat on which his Majesty had graciously invited her to sit, she made the conventional courtesy saying, “Eh bien, au revoir, monsieur.” The king was so amused that he kissed her paternally on both cheeks and said laughing heartily, “Au revoir, my child.”

It was in Sweden that de Treville had the rare compliments of being serenaded by a thousand university students of Upsala, who assembled under her hotel balcony, singing the “Neckens Polska,” the folk song introduced into Ophelia’s mad scene in the Opera “Hamlet” by Ambroise Thomas. In spite of the supplications of her careful mother, who feared the effect of the snowy air, Yvonne de Treville stepped out on the balcony, scattering the flowers from her numerous bouquets among the students, and sang the last verse herself, to their still greater delight.

From Sweden, it was expected that the youthful prima donna would cross to Denmark, and Copenhagen’s Opera House being closed at that time, it was in concert, without the aid of her consummate acting that she won her Danish audience. The first concert being such an overwhelming success, de Treville was immediately billed for four more in the short time she was free. As she had expected to sing at one concert, she only took one concert gown with her, sending all her others, with the rest of her luggage, to Finland, where she was due at the end of the week. Therefore, at each of her five appearances in Copenhagen, she was obliged to come out in the same frock. this did not, however, affect her success, as a the close of the last concert the crowd at the exit was so great, to catch a farewell glimpse of the young singer, that the police were forced to make a way for the carriage to pass through the lines of delighted auditors. It was at this concert that de Treville accompanied herself on the harp when singing some Scandinavian songs of Grieg.

Echos of the triumphs of this sweet voice had reached the Russian capital by this time, and on arrival in Helsingsfors, Finland, Yvonne de Treville received  the invitation to sing in St. Petersburg with the Tzar’s private orchestra. Ten minutes after the close of the “Bell” song from “Lakme” she was engaged by General Teliakovski, the Director of the Imperial Opera, for a series of representations, including the first performance of “Lakme,” the following autumn. There the world-renowned courtesy and enthusiasm of the Russians was exemplified in the fact of all the principals of the Opera learning their roles in French, it being impossible for de Treville to learn her hers in Russian in the short time. Also the rehearsals were held in her salon at the Hotel d’Angleterre. The three visits to Russia of the Prima Donna form part of her most agreeable “souvenirs de voyage.”

The cold winter of the north caused her, like the feathered song-birds, to fly south, and over Europe she darted to Brindisi, en route for Egypt. A few performances at the Khedivial Opera were granted the cosmopolitan audience of Cairo, before de Treville set sail with her mother in a dahabieh to make the wonderful trip up the Nile. two months of poetic rest among the temples followed by visits to Smyrna, Athens and Constantinople, en route for Hungary, put the Prima Donna in perfect health and it was with success that she appeared at the Royal Opera of Budapest in her favorite role of “Lakme.” After that, Vienna’s Imperial Opera House opened its doors to her, and her voice and personality soon won this most difficult and conservative of European Courts and audiences. the last two seasons of Herr Weingartner’s direction of the Hofoper she was a very welcome “guest,” singing “Lakme,” “Boheme,” “Barbier,” etc., in German as flawless as her Italian, French and English.

From Vienna the singer absented herself on many occasions to sing at the National Opera of Roumania, where her visits to the Royal palaces have increased her great admiration for that wonderful Queen Elizabeth (Carmen Sylva) and the beautiful Princess Marie. After her last visit to the Palace of Cotroceni the Crown Princess presented de Treville with a beautiful ruby and diamond

 pendant. Yvonne de Treville received this past season the order of Bene Merito of the first class, from his Majesty King Carol of Roumania.

In Germany she has sung with unvarying success in Berlin, Munich, Dresden, cologne, Frankfort, as well as many of the smaller towns where her command of the German language is much appreciated.

In France, and especially Paris, of course, she is quite at home, and almost every winter is heard at the various opera houses of the Riveria as well. It was while singing “Gilda” in “Rigoletto,” at Niece, that that opera became an unlucky one for the singer. An extraordinary enthusiastic audience could not understand why the prima donna did not respond to the numerous curtain calls at the close of the performance, and it finally became necessary for the stage manager to explain to the audience that the knife of the brigade, “Sparafucile,” had slipped and struck de Terville on the temple, and that she was unable to appear before the curtain as she was lying unconscious in her dressing-room.  Soon after that when “Rigoletto” was performed at Budapest, Yvonne de Treville’s arm was dislocated by a too realistic baritone, at the close of the third act with her arm in a sling covered by her cloak.  Ever since, this opera has always brought some accident to the diva, she has been in every other way and in all other things, most lucky.  As it is one of her most successful roles, she continues to sing it nevertheless.

In Brussels, where the coloratura soprano has elected to have her house and home, the name of “Lakme” has become synonymous with that of Yvonne de Treville, and at the opening of the International Exposition there, the Directors of the opera refused to let any one else sing this role at the gala performances, so de Treville was obliged to cut short her German tour in order to return to Brussels.  Her tour however had taken her to Austria, Hungary, Poland and Germany.

During the coronation festivities she was often heard in London, and on her return she stopped a day at Ostend to sing before their Majesties, the King and Queen of the Belgians.

Yvonne de Treville sang “Ophelia” in Ambroise Thomas “Hamlet”, at the Vichy Gala performance, at the special request of the Thomas family.

Coming from St. Petersburg in 1912, de Treville’s brief concert tour of American took her to Mexico City, where she sang during the summer, after which a second tournee of five months caused her to cross the continent to Canada twice.  Her success being as tremendous in the north as in the south, she has consented to accept American engagements offered her, and returns to this country from October to March, 1913-14.
N.J. Corey, in Detroit Saturday Night
April 12th, 1913Yvonne de Treville, after a trip to California, sails for Europe to fulfill a number of engagements as “guest” singer.  We do not all of us understand, in this country, that such engagements are the most lucrative, the most brilliant, and the most distinguished that Europe offers any artist.  This singer first succeeded in American with discerning managers and a wide public, while still in her teens and early twenties, when went triumphantly from one to another of fourteen counties of Europe, singing in the language of each country, winning laurels from the Imperial and Royal box holders as well as the mass of the people, and unanimous praise from the most exacting critics, and then returned to us after nine years, still in her early thirties, with a fame wider than any ever before achieved by an American artist.  So remarkable a career justifies national pride in her successes.  Today, while not yet at the zenith of her physical powers, Yvonne de Treville stands alone.  Beauty, grace, personal charm, wonderful stage presence, excellent musicianship, and unusual dramatic ability unite in this young and radiant woman, who wins all listeners of any and every class and nationality, and who is a truly great artist.  Every year or at least every other year, she hopes to spend some of her time in America, as a direct consequence of the enthusiasm she has evoked during her recent tour in the United States, Mexico and Canada.  to our credit be it said, that nowhere was her merit more fully and warmly recognized than in Detroit, where she has made her public absolutely secure.European Press CommentsTHE OPINION OF GREAT EUROPEAN CRITIC DR. WILHELM KIENZEL
Composer of Evangeliman, Kuhreigen, etc.
Yvonne de Treville is a prima-donna of the highest rank!  In her vocal art, which recalls the best epoch of the Italian virtuoso, everything is at the highest point of perfection.  Add to this perfect taste, a lovely warmth of interpretation, that are rarely met with in a coloratura singer.

Those who wish to learn the art of song must not fail to attend the performances of this mistress of vocal interpretation, of mezza voce and of brilliant coloratura.  We hope they will soon have this opportunity.

Yvonne de Treville’s voice shines in youthful splendour.  Her art has attained its zenith.  She is an artiste in full possession of her powers, knowledge, youth and temperament, absolutely natural and absolutely spontaneous.  She has been equally gifted with all nature’s charms.

Her voice is of refreshing quality in all registers, full and flexible; the timbre permits of the fullest crescendo and melting pianissimo; the intonation is faultlessly pure, and the 2 1/2 octave scales compel our admiration by their evenness.  And, as de Treville adds to these great gifts a marvelous facility of execution, she is a perfect phenomenon among the singers of our time.
