Today I fielded a reference question regarding Martha Lipton. She was a famed mezzo soprano who sang at the Met and other great opera houses of the world. In 1960 she came to the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music. Lipton instructed young singers at IU until the early 1980s, which is when she retired.
She was a quite a famous opera singer for her day and was trained at Juilliard. It is amazing to think that she came to IU to instruct. How incredible to think that here in Indiana one could receive voice instruction from a world class opera singer! It just goes to show the level of extraordinary talent at the IU School of Music.
That is awesome! I love the photos!
