Inscribed Photograph Signed: "Go Jane/ Keep the joy!/ Patrice Munsel". B/w, 8x10. Patrice
Munsel (1925-2016) was an operatic soprano who, at age 18, was the youngest singer
(and, by extension, the youngest soprano) accepted at the Metropolitan Opera of New
York. By the age of 27, she had starred in more than 12 roles with the Metropolitan Opera.
Affectionately known as "Princess Pat", she was admired for her many talents, which include
singing, ballet, tap-dancing and even rhythmic whistling. She eventually married Robert
Schuler and the couple had four children. The gifted singer also made a foray into acting:
She appeared as Nellie Melba in 1953's film version of Melba and with Alfred Drake in
Naughty Marietta (1955). She and her husband went on to write a book about their shared
experiences: The Diva and I. Ink note unknown hand on verso (no show-through). Otherwise,
fine condition.
