Five-time Grammy Award-winning soprano Kathleen Battle made headlines last month by announcing a new touring recital of hymns and spirituals, called “Kathleen Battle - Underground Railroad.” The tour includes a date at the Met—where Battle hasn’t sang in 22 years since her infamous dismissal from a production there in 1994. Before New York, though, Battle will sing her program at Roy Thomson Hall—and her singing has been world renowned since the 1980s, with good reason. (Here’s a video from her opera days: https://youtu.be/xM9B-z53BBk)
