Joséphine de Reszke (née Józefina Reszke; 4 June 1855 – 22 February 1891) was a Polish operatic dramatic soprano.[1] She and her brothers, Jean and Édouard de Reszke, learned to sing from their mother Emilja. Josephine also had lessons with Mme. Nissen-Salomon. She made her debut in Paris as Ophelia in Hamlet on 21 June 1875.
She performed in Western Europe. She was with the Paris Opera for several years, during which time she became known for her performances in Italian and French operas. She retired from the stage after she married Baron Leopold Julian Kronenberg, yet she stayed in the arena as a voice teacher.
