The first of these sessions, held today, focused on the life and work of María Llácer Rodrigo (Valencia, 1888 - Bologna, 1962), a Valencian soprano who achieved great success in the world of opera. Her career led her to triumph in prestigious theaters such as the Scala of Milan and other venues across Europe and America.

Llácer was one of the most globally recognized lyric voices between 1910 and 1939. After studying at the Conservatory of Valencia, she debuted in 1910 and performed in major theaters in Spain, Italy, and America. In 1915, she was responsible for inaugurating the Teatro Olympia in Valencia. She astonished the world with her interpretations of Wagnerian roles such as Isolde and Brünnhilde.

From 1939, María Llácer dedicated herself to management as an entrepreneur and artist representative, and also to teaching at the Conservatorio Superior de Música de Valencia. In 1962, the year of her death, the city of Valencia dedicated a street to her, located between Plaza de Espartero and Calle Cuenca, which was previously known as Calle Aragón.

Dr. Galiano, who is a Numbered Academic of the Real Academia de Cultura Valenciana and Professor of Music History and Aesthetics at the Conservatorio Superior de Música de Valencia, has published several books and over five hundred music reviews and articles. The Dean and Vice-Dean of the RACV, along with students, attended the class to pay tribute to the professor.
