Huguet was born in 1871 and registered on official documents as "Josefina" Huguet. Her first music teacher was Francisco Bonet in Barcelona, where she soon made her operatic debut as Lakmé at the Teatro Liceu of Barcelona. She subsequently toured several countries, including some South American nations.

She performed, too, with success in Italy, appearing for the first time at Milan's La Scala in 1896, where she sang the role of Ophélie in Ambroise Thomas's Hamlet. Huguet proved popular in Russia as well.

Although Huguet often sang coloratura parts, such as Rosina in Rossini's Il Barbiere di Siviglia, she also undertook the verismo roles of Mimì in Puccini's La Bohème and Cio-Cio-San in Puccini's Madama Butterfly, and her recordings even include excerpts from Wagner's Lohengrin (on which she is accompanied by the famous tenor Fernando De Lucia).
MOLTO BELLO!!! Thank you for sharing this video.

Indeed, her complete repertoire contained a wide range of roles: from The Queen of Night in Mozart's The Magic Flute to Nedda in Leoncavallo's Pagliacci.

Huguet's career as a recording artist was not particularly extensive. Her discography consists mainly of arias and ensemble pieces from opera that were made by the forerunner of HMV. She also sung the role of Nedda in the first complete recording of Pagliacci in 1907 (with the Orchestra and Chorus of the Teatro alla Scala di Milano, Carlo Sabajno conducting).

Thanks for posting. By the way, The sound is somewhat muffled and apparently, the record is not correctly pitched.....this would sound fantastic on an early horn-type machines.

@transformingArt Hello, why do you say that?
It's pitched in the original key - do you have a documented alternative key?
No, this is how it was recorded. They had to bring a big orchestra, chorus and two soloists in front of the horn. I don't think an open horn machine would work. The records are already fairly worn exactly from those early horn machines. A small, unbalanced horn would bring out the distortions even more.
