"Miss Lucrezia Bori, a renowned Spanish operatic singer, poses for a portrait photograph taken by Arnold Genthe on April 6, 1932, at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in New York City. The black and white acetate negative captures Bori in elegant attire, her expressive face conveying a sense of confidence and poise. Born in Valencia, Spain, Bori began her singing career in Europe before gaining international acclaim in the United States. She was a regular performer at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York, and was known for her powerful voice and captivating stage presence. In addition to her successful singing career, Bori was also a dedicated fundraiser for the Metropolitan Opera. This portrait photograph, taken during her time in New York, provides a glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman who left an indelible mark on the world of opera. Arnold Genthe, a prominent American photographer, captured this image during the 1930s, a time of great change and innovation in both the arts and photography. The black and white image, with its striking contrasts and timeless quality, is a testament to the enduring power of art and the human spirit." This photograph is part of the Arnold Genthe Collection at the Library of Congress, a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of American history and culture. It offers a unique window into the past, showcasing the people, places, and events that shaped the 20th century. Whether you are a fan of opera, photography, or history, this image is sure to inspire and captivate.
