Grace Melzia Bumbry, an American opera singer, is considered one of the leading mezzosopranos of her generation, as well as a major soprano for many years. She was a member of a pioneering generation of AfricanAmerican opera and classical singers who followed Marian Anderson (including Leontyne Price, Martina Arroyo, Shirley Verrett and Reri Grist) in the world of classical music and paved the way for future AfricanAmerican opera and concert singers. Bumbry's voice was rich and sizable, possessing a wide range, and was capable of producing a very distinctive plangent tone. In 1966 she appeared as Carmen opposite Jon Vickers's Don José in two different lauded productions, one with Herbert von Karajan in Salzburg and the other for Bumbry's debut with the San Francisco Opera.

Host & Producer: Julia Binek, Karajan Institute, Salzburg
