I just found out about Madame Sisserietta Jones. Are you familiar?

A very well researched and clearly presented biopic of one the great opera stars of the 20th century. May I respectfully point out that Porgy is pronounced with a hard G; and Aida as Ah-ee-da. Grateful thanks!

[@Karlieva]

Thank you for watching and for feedback!

She was not the first opera singer on American television. Paul Robeson and Marian Anderson preceeded her. As with Price, television stations in the South did not televise their performances. Their loss. Price possessed the most beautiful voice I ever heard in opera and recitals. She is 95 years old.
