1872 Butt Clara Contralto Opera Singer 1936
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the legendary opera singer, Clara Butt, in an intimate moment during her illustrious career. Dated 1872, the image finds Butt in a thoughtful pose, holding a cigar between her fingers, her expressive eyes gazing off into the distance. Butt, born in New Orleans in 1872, was an American contralto who rose to prominence in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. She was renowned for her powerful and expressive voice, which earned her a place among the most celebrated singers of her time. Butt's career spanned over five decades, during which she graced the stages of the world's most prestigious opera houses, including the Metropolitan Opera in New York and the Covent Garden Opera in London. She was also a popular concert performer and recording artist, leaving behind a legacy of over 300 recordings. Despite her success, Butt remained humble and dedicated to her craft. This photograph, taken in 1936, captures her in a more relaxed and personal moment, away from the spotlight. The cigar in her hand suggests a moment of respite, a chance to reflect on her remarkable accomplishments and the many years of dedication that led her to become one of the most celebrated opera singers in history. Butt's influence on the world of opera and classical music continues to be felt to this day. Her recordings and performances remain popular among music lovers, and her legacy as a trailblazing African American artist continues to inspire new generations of singers and performers. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of Butt's enduring impact on the world of music and the enduring power of the human spirit.
