Orchestra Hall, June 1964. I sang Ritorna Vincitor from Aida I was Charles LaBerge's last protoge' and made my singing debut in Orchestra Hall singing as aria from Aiida in '64. was slated for overseas study with the Germans as I was a Wagnerian dramatic soprano and I sang the Blues and was louder than any of the women of color, also slated for IIT as I was a "brain" in those days, got pregnent, and was the first and only to graduate Ma Mac's in '61 6 months preggers, married, and no one knew till that Graduation Day. Scandalous!!)
