Traditionally Bessarabia was a tremendous nursery of famous voices. Bessarabia was the country in which a lot of talented singers in the field of popular song, operetta, and opera were born. No wonder that when the career of these famous artists was over they did not just disappear in obscurity, but opened schools where they trained talented singers. Such an artist was Anastasia Dicescu. Anastasia Dicescu, an outstanding lyrical artist who made an important contribution to the prosperity of the national performing arts, worked at the Romanian Opera in Cluj, in the period 1919-1924. She was born on February 27, 1887, in the village of Găleşti, the district of Orhei, Bessarabia, and died in 1945 in the village of Bucerdea Granoasa, near Blaj, Alba County. She’s never married and she did not have children. Anastasia Dicescu, endowed by God with the gift of singing, cultivated this gift under the guidance of renowned teachers in Petersburg and then with maestro Catone in Rome. She confirmed her studies at the Conservatory in Cluj. Due to her love for nationalist songs and full of clean nationalist feelings transmitted by previous generations of Romanian Bessarabians, Anastasia Dicescu, laid the foundation of a “Romanian Musical Society” in Bessarabia, Chisinau, in 1918, holding then the position of president. Beginning with the autumn 1924, Anastasia Dicescu pursued a successful career in pedagogy. As a canto and opera directing teacher at the Romanian Conservatory of Music and Dramatic Arts in Chisinau, she contributed to the formation of such valuable artists as Maria Cebotari, Sachulschi, Elena Basarab, Grozea and others.
