Amalia Mignon Hauck "Minnie" Hauk (November 16, 1851 â€" February 6,

1929) was an American operatic soprano.She was born in New York City

on November 16, 1851, the only child of Francis Hauck, a German

emigrant, and his American wife. Soon after Minnie's birth the Haucks

moved to Providence, Rhode Island, and then to Sumner, Kansas, in

1857. It was later wrongly rumoured that Hauk was the daughter of the

financier Leonard Jerome, who was a devotee of the opera.In 1865, Hauk

began vocal studies with Achille Errani, who secured her a spot with

the Max Maretzek Italian Opera Company. At age fourteen she made her

public debut as opera singer in Brooklyn as Amina in La sonnambula,

and a month later, in November 1866, her New York City debut as

Prascovia in L'étoile du nord. In the American premiere of Gounod's

Roméo et Juliette (November 15, 1867) she sang Juliette.Hauk sang for

the first time in Europe at Covent Garden, London, on 26 October 1868,

and debuted in Paris in 1869. The soprano then appeared in Italian and

German opera at the Grand Opera in Vienna (1870â€"1874) and other

venues throughout Europe. Hauk interpreted the role Carmen, the

previously unsuccessful opera by Georges Bizet, in a new intensive way

for the first time on January 2, 1878 in Brussels. The immediate

success brought the opera to longlasting fame. She then played the

role at the opera's British and American premieres in 1878. Hauk

performed Manon at its American premiere in 1885. Her voice became a

mezzo-soprano of great strength and depth. Hauk stopped to sing

intensive opera tours by end of 1893. Hauk's enormous repertory

included approximately one hundred roles, and she sang Carmen in four

languages.
