Show Noted Soprano Sings In Kingsbury Hall Roberta Peters, brilliant color-aturo color-aturo soprano of the Metropolitan Metropoli-tan Opera appeared in concert Thursday in Kingsbury Hall under auspices of the University of Utah Lecture and Artist Series. Now internationally acclaimed as the world's foremost coloratura colora-tura diminutive, beautiful Miss Peters first stepped into the spot light at the age of 20 when she scored a triumph in her Metropolitan Metro-politan debut, pinch hitting on a few hours notice for an ailing prima donna. Not only was this the Cinderella soprano's operatic oper-atic debut but it was her first performance on any stage. Miss Peters came to Salt Lake City between appearances at the Metropolitan Opera, where she is singing five of her most famous fa-mous roles this season: Queen of the Night in The Magic Flute, I Zerlina in the new production of Don Giovanni, Adele in The Fledermaus, Gilda in Rigoletto, and the title role in Lucia di Lammermoor. American born and trained, Miss Peters is a popular performer per-former on network television programs. |
