My first entry: 28-08-2014 : 15-G
Hi Everybody, a very good- morning / -afternoon / -evening!
Today I want to introduce to you a wonderful lady!! Her name is Caroline Kaart.
Although she was born in Blackness (Schotland) on 21 december 1931, she moved to The Netherlands in the 1950-s after marying a Dutch tenor / theatre-actor. I was fortunate enough to have a wealthy uncle and aunt in my childhood and they took me to the operahouse on many occassions. I cherish so many wonderful lovely moments with them at my side at a performance of Caroline.
She became famous, not only as an operasinger but also as a teacher, vocalcoach etc. In 1982 she has been given a nighthood by our royal family. She is still occupyin herself with giving singing lessons.
I have choosen a duet with a Dutch singer called Gerard Joling…I hope you enjoy it!
To add something extra… I also place here below a recording of a song sang by her husband, who passed away after a failed surgery in 1963, just a few years after they got married and Caroline moved to The Netherlands. His name was Hans Kaart.

Interesting story.

How fortunate you were to have an aunt and uncle who took you to the opera to see her in person. What a strong voice!
Yes indeed I was… very much so. They have passed away many years ago but I still think of them very often.
Beautiful voice !!
Beautiful voice. A tragedy her husband died early, I imagine their voices would have been lovely together.
Yes ideed.
I guess so too, I wish I could have heard them together.
Never heard of them, sorry !
No problem Gattina, you don’t need to apologize for that 😉
