Additional Description

Biographical / Historical

Clara Kathleen Rogers (née Barnett) was born in England in 1844, the daughter of opera composer John Barnett. She received a musical education at the Leipzig Conservatory (Königliches Conservatorium der Musik zu Leipzig). Under the stage name of Clara Doria, she first appeared on stage in 1863 in Turin, followed by five years on the London concert stage. She came to America in 1871 as a member of the Parepa-Rosa Opera Company, and later settled in Boston as a concert soloist and vocal instructor. After her marriage in 1878 to Henry Munroe Rogers, she arranged weekly musicals at their Boston home, frequented by authors and musical artists. She was known to many of her friends as "Dodie." She was the author of The Philosophy of Singing (1893), English Diction in Song and Speech (1912), and Memories of a Musical Career (1919), and died in 1931.

Houghton Library is Harvard College's principal repository for rare books and manuscripts, archives, and more. Houghton Library's collections represent the scope of human experience from ancient Egypt to twenty-first century Cambridge. With strengths primarily in North American and European history, literature, and culture, collections range in media from printed books and handwritten manuscripts to maps, drawings and paintings, prints, posters, photographs, film and audio recordings, and digital media, as well as costumes, theater props, and a wide range of other objects. Houghton Library has historically focused on collecting the written record of European and Eurocentric North American culture, yet it holds a large and diverse number of primary sources valuable for research on the languages, culture and history of indigenous peoples of the Americas, Africa, Asia and Oceania.

Houghton Library’s Reading Room is free and open to all who wish to use the library’s collections.
