Helen Donath Metropolitan Opera Singer Autograph Photo LeNozze Di Figaro W Klotz

Description

Color photograph head shot by Winnie Klotz of Metropolitan Opera singer Helen Donath.
Personalized signature in red marker ink “To Kathleen with Love Your Helen Donath January 29th, 1994.”
Size is approximately 5 x 7 inches. Good condition with slight curl to the paper.
This photograph is from a large collection of autographs found in an opera fan’s estate. I cannot verify authenticity of signature but believe the collection was obtained by one person who met these opera stars and asked for their autographs directly.
Excerpt from Wikipedia: “Donath was born in Corpus Christi, Texas and studied there at Del Mar College. Later she studied in New York with Paola Novikova. She debuted as a concert and Lieder singer in New York in 1958. In 1961, she became a member of the Opernstudio at the Cologne Opera. She sang from 1963 until 1968 at the Staatsoper Hannover where she met her future husband, choir master and conductor Klaus Donath. Their son, Alexander Donath, is a stage and opera director.”
