ROSA RAISA
Trima Donna Soprano of the
Chicago Opera ^Association
A
PUPIL and protege of Mme.
Campanini, she has already
achieved sensational successes in
London, Milan, Buenos Aires, Mexico,
Chicago, and New York though still
in her twenties. A leading Chicago
critic has called Raisa " t h e greatest
dramatic soprano in the world."
Raisa is one of the famous group of
brilliant artists who are recording for
the Vocation Record exclusively. Her
record of the celebrated aria from II
Trovatore "D'amor sulF ah' rosee" is a
splendid example both of the superb
quality of her voice and the wonderful
new system used in making Vocalion
Records.
A Wonderful
Voice—A Wonderful
New
Record and—the World Famous Phonograph—

ON A CERTAIN SUNDAY afternoon last March, Rosa Raisa,
prima donna soprano of the Chicago Opera Association\ sang at
a concert given in the Hippodrome in New York. No man, woman
or child who attended that concert will ever forget it. They
had heard what the critic of one of the leading New York papers
called "the most marvelous, most glorious voice of any kind or
character'''' which had come under his observation in many years.
CONCERT, last Easter Sunday, is a
memory.
The tones that stirred its great
audience to a "frenzy of enthusiasm" live only in
the thoughts of those who heard.
In the beautiful Vocalion Studio on West 43rd
Street in New York, however, Rosa Raisa has
since sung many times. No great audience has
been there to applaud, but the melodious notes
of that wonderful voice have been preserved to
thrill an infinitely vaster audience than any opera
house or concert hall could hold.
Rosa Raisa is one of the great singers who are
committing their art to the new Vocalion Record.
In this Record, and the wonderful new system
under which it is produced, are the means by
which the world at last may gain a full-measure
of enjoyment from its gifted ones. Never before
the Vocalion Record was perfected had the human
voice been reproduced to do it actual justice.
