Hariclea Darclée

Hariclea Darclée

Hariclea Darclée (born Hariclea Haricli; June 10, 1860–January 12, 1939) was a celebrated Romanian opera singer and soprano.

Born in Brăila to a family with Greek roots. Her father, Ion Haricli, was a landlord in the Teleorman district. Her mother, born Aslan, was a relative of the noble Mavrocordatos family. The family lived for a while in the town of Turnu Măgurele in southern Romania. Hariclea married a young officer, Iorgu Hartulari, and became known for a while as Hariclea Hartulari-Darclée, Darclée being the "nom de théâtre" she adopted when she made her debut at the Paris Opéra in 1888 as Marguerite in Charles Gounod's "Faust". In 1889, she replaced Adelina Patti as Juliette in Gounod's "Roméo et Juliette", to increasing acclaim.

Highlights of her later career in Italy from 1890 on included the world-premières of the part of Odalea in Antônio Carlos Gomes' "Condor" at La Scala in Milan in 1891, the title-role in Alfredo Catalani's "La Wally" at the same theater in 1892, and the title roles in Pietro Mascagni's "Iris" and Giacomo Puccini's "Tosca", both at Teatro Costanzi in Rome in 1899 and 1900, respectively. She was very popular in Spain and South America, where she participated in many local premières of new operas by Puccini, Mascagni and Massenet. Her last role was that of Carmen in Georges Bizet's opera, in Florence in 1918.

She made only a handful of recordings for Fonotipia in 1905, all exceedingly rare.

Darclée was the mother of composer Ion Hartulary Darclée. Both she and her son are buried at Bellu cemetery, in Bucharest.

Started in 1997, the "Hariclea Darclée" National Voice Competition is held every two years in Brăila.
