Kennedy Center Honors Lauds Singer
We watched Kennedy Center Honors with delight as American Opera Singer Grace Bumbry received accolades for her contributions to the performing arts. Click here to see a photograph of the honorees with President and Mrs Obama.
Among Bumbry's frequent roles, we particularly enjoy Eboli from Verdi's Don Carlos perhaps because our beloved Sarasota Opera included that selection in its Winter 2009 season.
