Opera has been more than the right to sing on the stages and halls of America, it was a fight for acceptance in one of the last institutions steeped in a tradition of segregation. ―Opera, with its pantheon of heroines and gods and the special adulation that divas seem to invite, was one of the last musical bastions to remain segregated.‖ (Stein, 2009) As a result of being barred from Opera‘s stages and halls, many black classical singers of the nineteenth and twentieth century‘s spent their careers fighting for acceptance. As the years have progressed, social norms may have changed, and racial insensitivity may have waned, but when it comes to performing major operatic roles, not much is different for today‘s black classical trained singer. Chapter 1: Introduction In 2007, while at an audition for the Lyric Opera of Chicago‘s production of Porgy and Bess the concept for this paper was born. I had auditioned several times before but this audition was different. In my experience, it was not uncommon to see less than five black singers present at auditions for the Lyric. Instead the Lyric‘s audition for Porgy and Bess had a turnout of more than 60 talented black singers. “Porgy and Bess premiered in New York in the fall of 1935 and featured an entire cast of classically trained African- American singers—a daring and visionary artistic choice at the time.‖(Hamm, 1987: 495). Based on the 1920 novel Porgy written by Dubose Heyward and the play co- written with Dubose‘s wife Dorothy Heyward, the story captures black life in the slums of South Carolina. As I continued to listen to the auditions one after the other, I realized the paucity of black singers in Opera wasn‘t because of a lack of black talent. In fact the talent at this audition had far exceeded that of my previous auditions. I had seen first hand how any company can fill a stage with black talent, whenever it produces Porgy and Bess. I was left asking why I hadn‘t seen the same type of representation in other productions. It was apparent there must be another reason. Statement of Problem Curiously, fewer Blacks are visible on opera stages today than a decade ago. In the 2009-2010 season, contemporary classical soprano, Nicole Cabell, was the only black singer scheduled to take the lead role at the two biggest opera houses: the Metropolitan Opera and the Lyric Opera of Chicago. At the Metropolitan Opera 125th anniversary broadcast on March 15, 2009 there were no Black singers

Maureen Lee, the foremost scholar on Jones, will discuss how Jones built her international career and navigated the pitfalls of racists and opportunists in 19 th -century America. Lee, author of Sissieretta Jones: “The Greatest Singer of Her Race,” 1868-1933 , will excavate Jones’ world in Black Vaudeville, classical music, her remarkable ability at self-promotion, and her international acclaim singing for presidents and kings. The talk will take place Friday, April 26, 2013, 5:30pm at The Old Brick School House, 24 Meeting Street in Providence, RI. An exhibit of artifacts related to Jones’ singing career will be on display.

At times, they seem superhuman such is their creative genius or the magnitude of their performance. But actors, artists, sculptors, musicians, and dancers are as human as the rest of us. Their bones break, their muscles fail, and their joints creak and give them pain. Perhaps they suffer more than others given the physical demands that their chosen professions often place on their bodies. While their gifts are many and varied, these artists share an intense devotion to their careers. And if they are impaired by an illness or an injury, they are equally as motivated in their desire to recover. That is why these working artists come to Hospital for Special Surgery.
