Further reading list edit

Moved "Further reading" from main article to here (for further research?). They were not formatted correctly for the main article, and it is not clear whether anyone has read them. In any case, they do not appear so far to have served as sources of information for the article as it stands at this point. I feel they could be moved back to a "Further reading" section, if someone adds titles and authors, etc, but as they are now, it may be better to put them here. --Robert.Allen (talk) 08:06, 13 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Books edit

  • Chapter: "Nomenclature" in Comedians All By George Jean Nathan (2009), p. 223. Partial view at Google Books. (A minor mention of the name "Mignon Nevada". Of limited interest.)
  • The Musical quarterly, Volume 7 (July 1921), p. 324. (Mentions Mignon Nevada's "guest" appearance at the Opéra-Comique in Lakmé, a fact which is already in the article with a different citation.)
  • The English illustrated magazine, Volume 38 (Announcement of her debut. Adds nothing.)
  • World today, Volume 17 (Aug 1909), p. 832. (Mentions that Mignon Nevada appeared at the Royal Opera in Lisbon in March and had previously appeared at the Téatro Adriano in Rome. This ref is now cited in the article.)
  • The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Music. 5th Edition, p. 348. Oxford University Press, 2007 (a very short entry on Mignon Nevada, which does mention that she sang at La Scala as well as the Paris Opéra Comique, but not the years or roles. Adds nothing.)

Mignon Nevada (1886–1971), an English operatic soprano, as Ophelia in French composer Ambroise Thomas's opera, Hamlet, c. 1910. Nevada was the daughter of American soprano Emma Nevada, as well as Thomas's goddaughter, who had also written the opera Mignon in 1866, after which she was named. She made her debut in 1908 as Rosina in The Barber of Seville and performed at opera houses across Europe for her entire career.Photo: Bain News Service; Restoration: Lise Broer
