DescriptionMadame Elsa Stralia as Australia, ca. 1919 signed postcard.jpg
English: Elsa Stralia, born Elsie Mary Fischer, studied singing with Elise Wiedermann and Lily Slapoffski at the Marshall-Hall Conservatorium, Melbourne, before leaving for Europe in 1910. She was a dramatic soprano with a huge but agile voice who sang Rossini runs like a coloratura. Like Melba and Austral, she changed her name to sound more like an "opera singer". She studied with Mathilde Marchesi and sang in Beecham's Covent Garden opera season in 1913 and later at La Scala. On her Sydney debut in 1925, she received a floral representation of the ladder of fame from Amelita Galli-Curci, who was touring Australia.
