Zelia Trebelli-Bettini (1836–1892)[1][2] also known as Zelia Gilbert or by her stage name Trebelli, was a French operatic mezzo-soprano. Born Zélie Thérèse Caroline Gillebert in Paris, she died in Etretat.[3][4] Mme Trebelli's artistry was greatly admired by George Bernard Shaw, who wrote about her a number of times in his various reviews. In particular, he admired her interpretations and her exemplary English diction, rare for a non-native English speaker.
