Happy 99th Birthday to Leontyne Price

I first saw Ms. Price at the Old Met, singing Fiordiligi in COSI FAN TUTTE in English. At the new Met, I saw her in ANTONY & CLEOPATRA, DON GIOVANNI, TROVATORE, BALLO IN MASCHERA, MANON LESCAUT, and the Verdi REQUIEM. Her song recitals were always enthralling, her voice remaining clear and lush throughout a long career. Happy birthday, dear diva!
