	Nimbus Records, Prima Voce, NI 7872, Geraldine Farrar, in French Opera - Booklet Note
		Farrar believed utterly in herself: her craft, the path she had adopted, the operatic characters she gave definition, the extravagance she exercised (financial and emotional), and the philosophy she applied to life.
		Farrar was later to write that although technical concerns were not pre-eminent in her own more theatrical approach to operatic performance, the clarity of her style in maturity owed much to Lehmann's insistent discipline.
		Farrar was to be granted the honour of opening the season, and it has been said that Caruso stepped aside of his own free will to allow her full glory.

	Marston Records - Geraldine Farrar
		Farrar was not only an international opera star, she made more than 200 recordings and appeared in 14 silent films.
		But Farrar, as she recalled in Such Sweet Compulsion, refused to submit “to a dazzling treatment whereby all voices were taught to shame the flute in impossible skyrocket cadenzas or fall by the wayside when unable to do so.” Farrar also balked at the stylized gestures and artificial poses taught by a disciple of Delsarte.
		Farrar illustrated her talks by playing the piano and singing in one octave only, since “the vibrations in this range were easily handled by the engineers without blasts and gurgles.” She was a fine pianist, as private recordings made in 1942 with Marion Telva show.

	Nimbus Records, Prima Voce, NI 7857, Geraldine Farrar, in Italian Opera - Booklet Note
		Farrar herself realised, in an interview given to the New York Sun in 1908, that these audiences were 'accustomed to getting their talent full-blown, ripe from the European opera houses'.
		This demanded, as Farrar put it, singing not from the outside in but from the inside out and here she acknowledged a precedent: 'Calvé was the first to call attention to it by 'being it', and together with Miss Mary Garden and myself, developed the singing actresses of the modern repertory'.
		Her name is Geraldine Farrar' and in a review of her Carmen he continued, 'so true to life is it that one forgets she is acting...

		But for all of the opera greats who sought screen stardom, Geraldine Farrar has the distinction of being the only one among them who had what could truly be considered a spectacular career.
		In 1919, Geraldine moved to Goldwyn Studios, but these films lacked the prestige of her previous films for Lasky, and were bringing in rather disappointing returns at the box-office.
		When this situation was brought to her attention, Geraldine graciously tore up her contract and returned to the opera stage.

	Special Studios Built for Geraldine Farrar
		In addition to being the most beautiful woman ever to star in grand opera, with the possible exception of Lina Cavalieri, Miss Farrar is noted for her dramatic ability which would have borne her to fame on the stage had there been no voice to supplement it.
		As the singer objected to crowds of visitors watching her work, the part of the stage where her sets are being done was boxed in and a private corridor was arranged for her exclusive use, leading from her dressing-room to the stage.
		Miss Farrar will receive $35,000 for the eight weeks' work, which, at six hours a day, can be resolved into the smaller units of $2 a minute.

		DeMille saw "Carmen" as the ideal role for Farrar's first film, but due to the enormous fee requested for the opera's libretto, he adapted the original story by Prosper Merimee, which had fallen into the public domain.
		Although the film is silent, Farrar ably conveys the character's earthy quality, while not actually convincing us of her sensuality.
