Throwback Thursday

Rosina Pinhey, Strathfield Songtress

From a musical family, Rosina Pinhey was a talented pianist and singer. In 1903 she arrived in Paris to study with the famous Madame Marchesi. It was this formidable lady who gave her the stage name Rosina (or Rosine) Sydna in tribute to her home town, as she had once given Dame Nellie Melba her own stage name. Rosina also studied in Italy where she made her debut in La Traviata in Ventimiglia. In 1909 she fell very ill and returned home to Strathfield for several years to recuperate. Later she set sail for the USA to resume her career.
