Mezzo-soprano Grace Bumbry passed away on May 7, 2023 in Vienna, Austria.
She was 86.
Bumbry was a member of a pioneering generation of African-American opera
and classical singers in the worlds of opera and classical music and
helped pave the way for future generations of African-American opera and
concert singers. She was also a singer with a wide range that not only
sang mezzo roles but also performed numerous soprano roles to great
success.[...]
At the age of 24 she gained international recognition when she sang as
Venus in "Tannhäuser" at Bayreuth and became the first black singer to
appear at the famed festival. She received a 30-minute ovation for her
performance there, including 42 curtain calls.[...]
Bumbry left a legendary discography that includes recordings of "Carmen,"
"Norma," "Don Carlo," "Aida," "La forza del destino," and "Carmen Jones."
