On March 15, 2009, the Metropolitan Opera 125th Anniversary Gala did not include an African American singer. See http://www.metoperafamily.org/metupload/125thGala/galaprogram.pdf.
Tenor George Shirley had performed 271 times at the Metropolitan Opera
and Soprano Latonia Moore made her celebrated eleventh hour debut on
March 3, 2012 at the Metropolitan Opera.
George Shirley and Latonia
Moore will share the stage with noteworthy others at the 150th
Anniversary of Emancipation Proclamation Concert. See http://musicuntold.com/index.php/150th-anniversary-emancipation-proclamation-concert/
