Her teacher was Edvige Ghibaudo. For a long time it was not clear whether she was a soprano or a mezzo. Her teacher initially classified her student as a dramatic soprano and thus nominated her for an international singing contest in Vienna. She won the first prize. But she did not feel ready of a professional career and continued to study with Rinolfi and Pedrini. She made her début in Cagliari as Santuzza in 1935. Her first important engagement was as Adalgisa at the Teatro in Turin. In the following years the artist was to become one of the busiest singers on Italian Radio and took part in over 40 productions. In 1936 Cloe Elmo made her début as Meg Page in Falstaff at La Scala. Brangäne and Azucena became her next roles, then she was also heard in Mosè in Egitto, Martha, I quattro rusteghi, Oberon, Vito Frazzi’s Re Lear and other modern operas. She appeared at all major Italian stages as well as in Germany, Austria, Hungary, Rumania and Switzerland. Her début at the Met was as Azucena in 1947. Although she was successful her career at the Met did not pursue the way she had hoped. She was heard there as Azucena (only once) and sang the roles of Santuzza, Ulrica and of course Mrs. Quickly. Cloe Elmo did not to renew her contract and returned to Italy where she concentrated herself more and more on teaching. In 1954 she was appointed professor in Ankara, a position which had been occupied by Elvira De Hidalgo and Giannina Arangi-Lombardi before. Comment: Cloe Elmo is an underrated singer. She is one of four Italian mezzo-sopranos I adore most. The other ones are Ebe Stignani, Gabriella Besanzoni and Irene Minghini-Cattaneo. It is a pity that Cloe Elmo was not a prolific recording artist. She is well-known for her humorous Mrs. Quickly in three integral recordings conducted by Toscanini, Reiner and de Sabata. The following list of arias give proof of a great mezzo-/contralto voice. This is magic singing. The voice is a dramatic, warm and naturally produced instrument. She has a wonderful deep and a truly exciting upper register. Her singing is full of passion and fire. It is “veristic” singing but it never would affect her glorious voice.
