Ep 122 |  The First African-American to Perform at the Metropolitan Opera

Marianne Anderson was considered one of the best musicians of her time. She performed across Europe, where she became a massive celebrity, and once the Third Reich began to gain steam, she returned to America to perform in her home country. She was also a Black woman singing opera during Jim Crow - which meant she had to fight twice as hard to earn half the respect of peers with a fraction of her talent. She had many triumphs throughout her life and her voice and legacy remain renowned and acclaimed to this day.
