Sažetak
Dita Kovač (Zagreb, July 12, 1891 - Qiryat Gat, September 12, 1976) was a soprano and music pedagogue who played a big role in music life of Osijek, Croatia where she worked and lived from 1917 to 1949. She was a regular guest performer in Croatian National Theater in Osijek until 1939 and 1945-46 accompanist at the Opera. She worked as professor of singing at the City Music School 1930–40 and in the period from 1945 to 1949 was even the principal of the school. Many of her operatic performances were noted as very successful ; she also frequently performed in various concert occasions (with the city philharmonics, or in solo recitals). On the other hand, her résumé in Croatian biographical lexicon (2009) states the fact that she was the sister of the conductor Leo Mirski, as the first relevant fact right after her birth and death data. In the same time, in Lav Mirski’s résumé it is not stated that he had a sister that was also a musician. This phenomenon of emphasizing family connection when talking about female members of the family is not rare, and there are many examples of very successful women in music who were labeled as “sisters” of male musicians. This paper will explore Dita Kovač's contribution to the musical life of the city of Osijek in order to determine whether she was really "only" Leo Mirski's sister.
