Geraldine Ulmar (June 23, 1862 – August 13, 1932) was an American soprano and actress known for her performances in Savoy operas with the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company. In 1879, she made her debut in Boston as Josephine in Gilbert and Sullivan's H.M.S. Pinafore and soon joined the Boston Ideal Opera Company, where she remained as leading soprano for six years. From 1885 to 1886, Ulmar played Yum-Yum in the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company's first American production of The Mikado in New York. Over the next two years she played further Gilbert and Sullivan roles in New York, Germany and England. In London, she was the first to play the leading characters of Elsie Maynard in The Yeomen of the Guard (1888) and Gianetta in The Gondoliers (1889) before leaving D'Oyly Carte in 1890. She remained in Britain to play leading roles in other works, such as O Mimosa San in the musical comedyThe Geisha. In 1904 she retired from the stage and taught singing. Ulmar was married to composer Ivan Caryll for a time. The photo shows Ulmar as Yum-Yum in New York in 1886.Poster credit: Benjamin Joseph Falk; restored by Adam Cuerden
I'm a professional German-to-English science translator with 20 years of experience. I also studied history in NY and Germany, with foci on the history of women, economics and art. I'm still learning how Wikipedia works, so please accept my apologies for n00b errors and I'd welcome any constructive advice you'd like to add to my talk page.
Wikipedia is one of the most wonderful human projects ever undertaken. I use it in almost every translation job now. Recently I was looking around for Ger>Eng history texts to translate pro bono and was delighted to find that was a way I could contribute to Wikipedia.
