Byron Hanson: Latonia Moore among 'handful of artists to debut both on the MET stage and the radio in the same performance.'

Latonia Moore (Dallas Opera, Kilponen)

Byron Hanson writes:

It's fascinating how we sometimes telescope time: Latonia Moore's MET debut was only last season, less than 14 months ago. She was covering the role and was called just a day or two ahead to sing the final Aida performance of the season. Since it was also the radio broadcast, she had the rare distinction of joining the handful of artists to debut both on the MET stage and the radio in the same performance. Her very first performance in the house was at the National Finals in 2000.
