Today we celebrate the Carnegie Hall debuts of mezzo-soprano Marilyn Horne and soprano Joan Sutherland. On March 1, 1961, they performed Bellini’s “Beatrice di Tenda” with the American Opera Society. Both Horne and Sutherland went on to perform countless times at the Hall in solo and collaborative recitals. #WomensHistoryMonth ⁠ ⁠ 📷: Private collection of Marilyn Horne; #CHRoseArchives
