O komm' mit mir in die fruhlingsnacht (Van der Stucken) The following is from The Encyclopedia of Music in Canada: Irene Jessner. Soprano, teacher, b Vienna 28 Aug 1901, d Toronto 10 Jan 1994. Although she studied piano at the Vienna Conservatory, she made her debut (Teplice, 1930) as Elsa in Lohengrin and toured Europe in operas and musicals, enjoying particular success in Czechoslovakia as Aida. Invited by EDWARD JOHNSON to join the METROPOLITAN OPERA in New York, she made her US debut in 1936 in Hansel and Gretel. She remained with that company until 1952, singing such roles as Desdemona in Otello and the Marschallin in Der Rosenkavalier. Again on an invitation from Johnson, she joined the Faculty of Music, UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO, in 1952. Her Canadian pupils included LÉONARD BILODEAU, Stephanie Bogle, MAURICE BROWN, Martha Collins, MARK DUBOIS, Mary Lou FALLIS, Nancy Hermiston, Jean MacPhail, LOIS MCDONALL, ROXOLANA ROSLAK, TERESA STRATAS, LILIAN SUKIS, HEATHER THOMSON, Patrick Timney, RIKI TUROFSKY, PORTIA WHITE, and JEANNETTE ZAROU. Jessner recorded a Rimsky-Korsakov song and a Tchaikovsky arioso for Victor (Vic 17569). She is also heard in a complete Die Meistersinger (Celebrity EJS 224), pirated from a Metropolitan Opera broadcast 2 Dec 1939, on a private recording of Elektra (2-Robin Hood), recorded 25 Dec 1949, and on a 78 recording of the third act of Die Walküre in which she sings both Sieglinde and Ortlinde (8-Columbia CM-581). A 1997 re-recording by Immortal Performances Recorded Music Society recreates her voice in the Met production of Der Rosenkavalier, broadcast 16 Feb 1946. Jessner's retirement from the University of Toronto in the spring of 1986 was followed by a gala concert 3 Nov 1986 featuring many of her pupils. A scholarship fund, recognizing her influence on a whole generation of Canadian singers, was established in her name by the Faculty of Music. In her later years after the death of her husband, Arthur de Nordy, Jessner lived at the home of her former student Mark DuBois. Carl Morey described Jessner as one of the few 'truly outstanding voice teachers in Canada' (Globe and Mail, 14 Jan 1994). Author George Kidd, Betty Nygaard King Bibliography Schill, Florence.
