collect.at Antiques and unique Collectibles Gwyneth Jones, great Soprano Autograph, 1978, Wien: "Gwyneth Jones, born in Wales, living near Zurich now, studied in Siena and Zurich.

She made her breakthough in 1964 when she stood in for Leontyn Price ( Il Trovatore, Royal Opera House production ).
But it was her Wagner roles ( Bayreuth Festivals in the late 1960s, early 70s ) which made her that famous. She is a darling in Vienna and this autograph is from 1978 there.

She was made a Dame of the British Empire in 1986."
