Milka Ternina (born Katarina Milka Trnina, pronounced [katarǐːna mîːlka tř̩nina]; 19 December 1863 – 18 May 1941^[1]) was a Croatian dramatic soprano who enjoyed a high reputation in major American and European opera houses. Praised by audiences and music critics alike for the electrifying force of her acting and the excellence of her singing in both German and Italian works, her career was curtailed at its peak in 1906 by a medical condition which paralyzed a nerve in her face.
