She was born in Stara Zagora on April 24, 1889. She often visited her aunts in Veliko Tarnovo and was permanently attached to the old city. There she started to learn and for the first time attended a theatrical performance in the gym of chitalishte "Hope". From that moment she was taken over by the magic of the scene.
In 1906, like many young Bulgarians at the time, Christina went to Prague to study economic sciences. But her future develops in a completely different direction. The famous old musical traditions of the capital of Czech Republic made young Morfova to change her decision and she was received in the Prague Conservatory in the famous singing school of prof. Pivoda. In the following years she received a solid musical and vocal training. Later specializes in prof. Jacques Isnardon`s class in Paris.
Morfova`s stage career began in Brno. Since 1915 she sings in the Bulgarian opera, renamed in 1922 in the Sofia National Opera. After World War I she already is an European celebrity. She has concerts in Paris, Milan, Moscow, London, Berlin, Munich, Dresden, etc., where thousands of people applaud the great art of the talented Bulgarian singer. She has famous roles in operas by Smetana, Verdi, Mozart and Mascagni. She has over 40 roles. The London record company produced her first record with 12 performances, which has kept to the present day her extraordinary musical talent.
Along with her singing career, Chr. Morfova works as a vocal pedagogue and director. At the top of her fame instead to continue her creative performances in Europe, she returned to her homeland and in 1931 became professor of singing at the Sofia Music Academy. She prepared a large number of her students, helping not only professional but also with finances. Morfova fervently promoted at home and abroad Bulgarian folk songs. She lives an intense spiritual life and shows interest in literature and visual arts.
The life of the famous Bulgarian singer ended tragically. On June 1, 1936 Morfova travells with friends to village named Banya. The car crashed near Pirdop. From all the passengers only she died. Today a street in Sofia is called after her.
