|text=Carte-de-visite of Lucy Arbell, a French mezzo-soprano who was particularly associated with the late operas of Jules Massenet. She was described as having a strong, vibrant 'mezzo-contralto' and a vivacious personality. Arbell made her stage debut as Dalila at the Paris Opéra on 23 October 1903. She had a close relationship with the late operas of Massenet, creating roles in Ariane (Perséphone), Thérèse (title role), Bacchus (Queen Amahelli), Don Quichotte (Dulcinée) in Monte-Carlo and Paris, Roma (Postumia), and Panurge (Colombe).
