Was Marian Anderson an opera singer?
American contralto Marian Anderson (February 27, 1897 - April 8, 1993) was not an opera singer. Instead, she sang in concerts and recitals with many orchestras (such as the famed New York Philharmonic,) facilitated by different concert venues (incl. at the prestigious Carnegie and Wigmore Halls,) across Europe and the U.S.Anderson was offered many roles with several important European opera companies, but she refused, citing the fact that she had no formal training in drama.She would, however, renege on this stance on January 7, 1955, when she became the first African-American to appear with the Metropolitan Opera in New York City. There, Miss Anderson sang the part of Ulrica in Giuseppe Verde's Un ballo in maschera, where she played opposite noted operatic sopranos Zinka Milanov and then Herva Nelli, who both played the part of Amelia.She was offered this role by director Sir Rudolph Bing. However, due to Miss Anderson's uneasiness with such performances, she finished the contract (which required her to perform the role a few more times), but never again took roles with any other operas.
