'''Georgette Bréjean-Silver''', ''née'' '''Georgette-Amélie Sisout''' (22 September 1870 – August 1951) was a French opera singer ([[coloratura soprano]]).
== Life ==
Born in Paris, Bréjean-Silver studied at the [[Conservatoire de Paris]]. In 1890 she made her debut at the [[Opéra National de Bordeaux]], whose director Gravière married her. She had her first great success in the title role of the opera ''[[Manon]]'' by Jules Massenet at the [[Opéra-Comique]] in 1894. She embodied the role so convincingly that Massenet composed an additional [[gavotte]] for her for the Brussels premiere of the work.
At the premiere of Massenet's ''[[Cendrillon]]'' in 1899, Bréjean-Silver sang the role of the fairy. Further important roles were a.o. Rosine in Gioacchino Rossini's ''[[The Barber of Seville]]'', Philine in Ambroise Thomas' ''[[Mignon]],'' Euridice in Claudio Monteverdi's ''[[L'Orfeo]],'' Leila in Georges Bizet's ''[[Les pêcheurs de perles]]'' and Rosenn in Édouard Lalo's ''[[Le roi d'Ys]]''.
From 1900 Bréjean-Silver was married to the composer [[Charles Silver]]. Some of her recordings from the years 1905 and 1906 have been preserved by [[Odeon Records|Odeon]] and [[Fonotipia Records]].
Bréjean-Silver died in [[Neuilly-sur-Seine]] in August 1951.
