York City, is an American soprano who is probably best known for playing the
title roles in Puccini's Tosca and Strauss' Salome. She debuted at
the Central City Opera in 1972 as Nannetta in Verdi's Falstaff. She has
since appeared at opera houses throughout the United States and Europe,
including 221 performances at the New York Metropolitan Opera between 1979 and
2002. Much of Malfitano's fame has come from TV, especially from a 1978 telecast
of Gian-Carlo Menotti's The Saint of Bleeker Street, in which she played
Annina. Malfitano also won an Emmy award for Outstanding Individual
Achievement (Classical Music/Dance Programming) for a 1992 TV production of
Tosca. She has also directed The Saint of Bleeker Street and
Puccini's Madame Butterfly at Central City Opera. Lightly bowed.
