She was named after the title character of the 1866 opera Mignon, written by her godfather, French composer Ambroise Thomas.Her voice was light and agile, and her mother trained her to be a coloratura soprano, although Sir Thomas Beecham thought this was a mistake and she should have been a mezzo-soprano instead.
