Trajet de jeunesse d'une artiste de renommée modiale. Maureen Forrester, fille de la rue Fabre
|
Abstract |
The internationally-renowned, Montreal-born operatic contralto Maureen Forrester (1930-2010) grew up on Fabre Street in the city's east-end, an area now referred to as being part of the Plateau Mont-Royal borough. The author describes her early life in this working-class part of the city. Forrester has been described as "one of the most distinctive contralto voices of her generation." Her parents were Thomas Forrester, a Scottish cabinetmaker, and his Irish-born wife, the former May Arnold. In her published memoir, Out of Character (1986), Forrester described her family as being lower middle-class.
