Life

Born in Braunschweig, Passy-Cornet was a daughter of the opera singer couple Julius and Franziska Cornet. After she received her first artistic lessons by her mother, Passy-Cornet went to Hamburg and took singing lessons there. Afterwards she sang in Austria and appeared among other things at concerts at the Viennese court.

She later performed as a coloratura also in her homeland; among other places in Braunschweig, Hamburg and Hannover. At the age of 27 Passy-Cornet got an engagement at the Theater am Kärntnertor in Vienna in 1865 and made her debut there with outstanding success as the "Queen of the Night". Although she achieved great successes in a short time and could choose her engagements, she soon devoted herself only to singing occasional concerts. She got married and her daughter was the singer Anna Prasch-Passy.

Passy-Cornet founded a Private Singing School in Vienna and directed it until 1881, before being appointed singing teacher at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music (Budapest). In 1892 she gave up this office and returned to Germany. She settled in Nuremberg and taught singing there.

gollark: None of my setup is simple or unambigious.

gollark: I had issues porting my v1 config to the v2 caddyfile because the syntax was kind of ambiguous, and I posted on the forum and got a response eventually and stuff, but then it had annoyed me enough that I just renginced.

gollark: I was considering making a config generator to generate the config.
