Twenty-two years after she was sacked by Met boss Joe Volpe for ‘unprofessional actions … profoundly detrimental to artistic collaboration’, the lyric soprano returns tonight in recital of Spirituals.

It’s an elegant way of laying things to rest.

    Great Concert. She sounded marvelous. Her voice spun, was fresh —- really inspired. The choir was great. Their soloists also gifted with lovely voices. “an’ ain’t I a woman?” read by Cecily Tyson was brilliant. The harpist, the pianist, Wynston Marcellis all inspired!
