Some well-known Black Opera singers, females include Marian Anderson ( deceased), Leontyne Price, Grace Bumbry. Kathleen Battle... there are doubtless others. this is approximately chronological. First really Big-Time Metropolitan Black star would have been Miss Leontyne Price. She is still alive at thie writing, also Marilyn Horne- not known if she is related to Lena Horne, a popular songstress.
