She married Richard Jordan, a sales representative, at St John's Church in Bergen on June 20, 1902.[2] She was the niece of the composer and music professor Carlo Alberto Sperati.

Life and work

Lulli Sperati debuted at the National Theater in Bergen on March 18, 1891, in the role of Sigrid in Til Sæters (To the Mountain Pastures).[3] [4] She was engaged with this theater until 1896.

From 1896 to 1898, Sperati performed as a singer at Eldorado in Kristiania (now Oslo). During the same period, she also spent time abroad to study further, including with the Danish singer Sextus Miskow starting in the fall of 1896.[1] [5] During this time she also performed at various venues around Norway, sometimes appearing with her mother.[6]

Sperati performed again at the National Theater in Bergen from 1898 to 1905. She appeared there in the fall of 1903 the opera Kynthia by Christian Danning and Hans Wiers-Jenssen.[7] She had a good singing voice and considerabče talent, and she appeared in many different roles, from spoken pieces to operas.[8]

In 1905, she gave up her life on stage for health reasons.[1] As late as 1915, however, she made appearances with her mother.[9]
