"And

Marian
Anderson - The amazing black American contralto, who
broke the race barrier at the Metropolitan Opera when she sang the role
of the fortune-teller Ulrica in A Masked Ball. However,
this was late in her career and the only complete role that she sang in
a fully-staged production with orchestra. An amazingly versatile
artist, she could sing a spiritual such as "They crucified my
Lord" (in a practically baritone range) and then turn around and
sing a ravishingly beautiful account of Dalila's "Mon coeur s'ouvre
à ta voix." |
