Excerpt from The Dramatic Peerage, 1892: Personal Notes and Professional Sketches of the Actors and Actresses of the London Stage

Albu, annie.-although English by birth, Miss Albu is of German extraction on her father's side. She displayed vocal talent and sang in public concerts in the North of England and elsewhere before she was fourteen years of age, when she entered the Royal Academy of Music as a student, and remained there five years, gaining medals and distinctions, and enjoying the advantages of tuition from Signor Manuel Garcia. Subsequently she went to Italy to perfect her education, and studied some time in Milan, and in that land of song made a highly promising a'e'but on the operatic stage. Returning to England, she joined the Carl Rosa Opera Company, and soon obtained a hearing in London, with results equally satisfactory to her audience and herself. She then toured the provinces, play ing many principal parts, and in April, 1889, in the absence of Miss Marie Tempest, created the title role in Doris. After this she relinquished the lyric stage for a time, and appeared in concerts and oratorios. In 1890 she accepted an engagement at the Alhambra, and here her renderings of ballads and operatic music were much appreciated.
