Je veux vivre (Juliet's Waltz)

Eidé Noréna was a Norwegian-born soprano (1884-1968) who spent the largest part of her career in Paris, at the Opéra and the Opéra Comique, although she did travel abroad, to great acclaim. She debuted at La Scala (Rigoletto) in 1924, and then went immediately to Covent Garden, in the same role. Then it was to Chicago in 1926, and her Met debut in 1933, as Mimi, where she was reviewed most favorably by W. J. Henderson. Here is her "Je veux vivre," from Romeo et Juliette.
