Lisa Roma

Lisa Roma

Lisa Roma (born in 1893) was an American soprano who toured in the U.S. with composer Maurice Ravel in 1928. She was chair of grand opera in the College of Music at the University of Southern California beginning in 1930. She also was prima donna in the Berlin State Opera.

Roma, who lived in Los Angeles, was one of the first people in the entertainment industry there to undergo a rhinoplasty, or a "nose job." According to the "Los Angeles Examiner" (May 5, 1930), the operation was performed in expectation that she would appear in the "talkies" as a singer.
