Although the most notable collections relating to women are listed below, women are represented throughout the Center's holdings. Collection highlights: The Louisiana colonial judicial archive houses the records of the French Superior Council (1714-1769) and the Spanish Judiciary (1769-1803). These criminal and civil records, which comprise the heart of the museum's manuscript collection, are an invaluable resource for researching Louisiana's colonial history. They record the social, political and economic lives of rich and poor, female and male, slave and free, African, Native, European and American colonials. They are a rich resource for the history of women in the State. Although the majority of the cases deal with attempts by creditors to recover unpaid debts, the colonial collection includes documents that contain a wealth of biographical information concerning Louisiana's colonial inhabitants.

    1 Part I Chronicle, 1926-2001 This listing of some 711 programs includes staged opera performances performed under the auspices of the MCMA (in the 1930s), and later operas (1961- ) performed with the Madison Opera. The chronicle does not include chamber music concerts sponsored by the MCMA and concerts by the Madison Civic Band. It was commonplace in the early years of the MCMA to include chamber works and art songs on the orchestra’s concerts. These works (marked by an asterisk) are listed in the chronicle, but are not indexed in Part II. Each program is listed by the date of performance.

  • Jasmine Egan
    Retired opera diva recognized at LSU May 1, 2006 By Jennifer Flowers [email protected] What a charmed life. That is what Jasmine Egan was thinking after her alma mater announced its recognition of her 30-year singing career that took her to the corners of the globe and had her befriending the likes of Imelda Marcos. "You never know when your past life comes back to haunt you," said the veteran lyric soprano, who has long since retired but still betrays the strong voice that made her famous. "What a joy this career was." The Shreveporter was among six alumni to be recognized recently by the LSU Opera in conjunction with its 75th anniversary this year. Others were James King, Dallas Draper, Marguerite Piazza, James Stuart and Frances Greer, all of whom were inducted into the LSU Opera Hall of Fame along with Egan. LSU plans to invite Egan to return to LSU and offer a master class in the fall of 2006. "Jasmine Egan is a vibrant, knowledgeable singer," said Robert Grayson, opera and voice program chair at LSU. "Her reputation as a valued interpreter of a variety of roles, but especially Madama Butterfly places her in the highest category of performers. We look forward to her return to LSU." Egan is recognized internationally for her portrayal of a seemingly endless list of female soprano leads in opera, and was most famous for her role as the delicate Cio- Cio-San in "Madama Butterfly." Egan also has performed the leads in "Aida" as well as Marguerite in "Faust," Mimi and Musetta in "La Boheme," Santuzza in "Cavalleria Rusticana," Violetta in "La Traviata," Fiordiligi in "Cosi Fan Tutte" and Nedda in "Pagliacci" among many others.
