Josepha Chekova, sometimes given as Josefa Chekova and also known by her married name Josepha Domansky, (26 May 1900 – 25 February 1968) was a Czech-American soprano. She began her career in vaudeville as early as 1924, and was a contracted singer with WRNY radio in 1926-1927. After appearing in a musical revue in Chicago, she won a vocal competition in 1927 which provided her with a scholarship to train as an opera singer at the Bel Canto Studio, Inc. of New York. She later studied singing further in New York City with Estelle Liebling. She made her opera debut at the Prague State Opera prior to becoming a leading soprano with the New York Opera Company in 1933. She was a leading soprano at Radio City Music Hall in 1930s, and toured with the San Carlo Opera Company in 1935-1936. She worked regularly with the Steel Pier Opera Company in Atlantic City from the mid 1930s into the early 1940s, and also appeared as a guest artist with opera companies in Washington D.C., Cincinnati, and Chicago. From 1940-1942 she toured with Armand Bagarozy's Columbia Opera Company, and in 1948 she gave a concert tour of Czechoslovakia.
In addition to her work as a soprano, Chekova also translated opera libretti into to English. She notably translated Eugene Zador's opera Christopher Columbus from German into English for the work's world premiere in 1939. Her English language translation was later used by the American Symphony Orchestra for their 1975 recording of that work.
