Nina Dimitrieff (born 1870s – died after 1952), also seen as Nina Dmitrieff and later as Nina Massell, was a Russian soprano singer. Early lifeNina Dimitrieff was described in publicity as "daughter of the famous Russian general Pheophan Dimitrieff", and educated at Smolny Convent in Saint Petersburg, where she was a schoolmate of Elena of Montenegro.[1][2] CareerDimitrieff made her American debut[3] as Margarita in The Damnation of Faust at the 1910 Worcester Music Festival.[4] In that same year, the New York Times opined that "Her voice is not notable for fine quality, being, in fact, somewhat hard and unyielding; nor is she equally successful in many different styles of songs."[5] In 1911, she sang in California with other Russian musicians,[6] and sang at concert conducted by Leopold Stokowski,[2] and sang at a fundraiser for tuberculosis prevention in Pittsburgh.[7] In 1913 Dimitrieff sang at "Verdi Night" at the May Festival of the Albany Musical Association,[8] and gave a joint recital with Russian cellist Vladimir Dubinsky at New York's Aeolian Hall.[9] She returned to Aeolian Hall with a recital of Russian traditional songs in 1916, at which she also wore Russian costumes and gave a lecture on the history of Russian church music and folksongs.[10][11] Also in 1916, she and other Russian artists including Mischa Levitzki, Anna Pavlova, and a balalaika orchestra performed at a benefit in Connecticut, for Russian prisoners of war.[12] Dimitrieff made several recordings for the Victor Talking Machine Company in 1916.[13] Later in life, she taught voice classes, and accompanied other concert performers on piano.[14] Personal lifeNina Dimitrieff married James Massell, a voice teacher and writer, by the end of 1919.[15] She was widowed when he died in 1948.[16] She was still alive to renew the copyright on her husband's book, To Sing or Not to Sing, in 1953.
