Concordia Antarova (Russian: Конкордия Евгеньевна Антарова, also known as Cora Antarova, 25 April 1886 O.S./13 April 1886 (N. S.) – 6 February 1959) was a Russian contralto who starred in the Bolshoi Theater for more than twenty years. After her singing career was ended, she wrote theosophical texts. She was recognized as an Honored Artist of the RSFSR in 1933.
Suffering from ill-health from 1956, Antarova died on 6 February 1959 after a long illness, in which she was cared for by her partner Tsuberbiller. Tsuberbiller never fully recovered from the pain of Antarova's death. The two women were buried side by side in the Novodevichy Cemetery when Tsuberbiller died in 1975. Posthumously, her book Two Lives was published in 1993 and her book on Stanislavski has been re-published several times, being translated into other languages.
Although in 1886 Poland was a part of the Russian Empire, it still used the Gregorian calendar, so the birth date on Antarova's tombstone is correct. The O.S. date according to the Julian calendar would be April 1.
