Your question is too broad to give a definitive answer, especially given the huge number of Opera companies. However, Marian Anderson was the first African-American sing for the Metropolitan Opera [1955] and also the first to be named a permanent member of Metropolitan Opera Company. Such a delay was purely based on racial discrimination.
