Zélie de Lussan (21 December 1861 – 18 December 1949) was an American opera singer of French descent who was successful in her native country but made most of her career in England.
The wide range of her voice allowed her to sing both mezzo-soprano and soprano roles.
Among de Lussan's most famous roles was the title role in Bizet's Carmen, which she performed 2,000 times.
She appeared with Sir Thomas Beecham's opera companies, at Covent Garden and with the Carl Rosa Opera Company.
After retiring from the stage she made her home in London, where she continued to teach singing for many years.
