About Rosina Palmer

Rosina Martha Hosanah Palmer was an Australian opera singer, who often appeared as Mrs Palmer. Born in Hobart, Tasmania, she developed a soprano voice early on and accompanied her mother, opera singer Marie Carandini, on tours, singing with her family troupe. Palmer moved to Melbourne with her husband in 1866. Although she had a low income, she later became a successful singing teacher. Musicologist Thérèse Radic wrote that, despite being gifted, Palmer was constrained by her social position as a married woman, as was typical of her contemporaries.
