Born in The Bronx to Russian immigrants and educated at Hunter College, she made her Met debut in 1944 as Leonora in Il Trovatore. She also performed at New York City Opera, the San Francisco Opera and Covent Garden.

Her best-known roles, according to the New York Times, included Ellen Orford in Britten’s Peter Grimes, Donna Anna and Donna Elvira in Mozart’s Don Giovanni and the title role in Bizet’s Carmen.
