Mimi Benzell was an American soprano, active at the Metropolitan Opera and in radio, television and concert performance.

In the Pristine catalogue she appears in the Met’s 1947 broadcast of Gounod’s Roméo et Juliette with Jussi Björling, Bidú Sayão and John Brownlee.

Benzell’s singing brought brightness, clarity and stage polish to the Met’s French-opera ensemble world.

Her page is justified by secure identity and catalogue context. Benzell gives the Björling-Sayão Gounod shelf a clear soprano presence.
