The Melba Suite

HELEN ARMSTRONG, née MITCHELL (born May 19, 1861, died Feb. 23, 1931) a singer of great popularity.
She did not study singing until 1882. She made her operatic debut in Verdi's Rigoletto in 1887 at Brussels under the name Melba, derived from the city of Melbourne. Until 1926 she sang in the principal opera houses of Europe and the United States, particularly Covent Garden and the Metropolitan Opera. She was created a Dame of the British Empire in 1918. She returned in 1926 to Australia, where she became president of the Melbourne Conservatorium. Melba toast and peach Melba were named for her.


	Named after the famous Australian opera diva, Dame Nellie Melba, the Melba suite has been designed with one thing in mind - Romance! A wonderful treat for that special occasion. A confection of the blue and white French style, the suite evokes the feel of turn of the century Paris. Our largest room, it has its own separate living room with French doors opening on to the balcony at the front of the building while the ensuite has a separate bath and shower. The bath has spa jets. A world of crystal chandeliers and champagne.	Who was Madame Melba?
