Bampton (1907-2007) was an American operatic contralto who made her debut as
Siébel in Gounod's Faust at the Chautaugua Opera in 1929. She sang
several times with Leopold Stokowski and the Philadelphia Orchestra,
bringing her to the attention of New York's Metropolitan Opera. In addition to
singing for 18 seasons (1932-1950) with the Met, Bampton appeared with
companies in Chicago, San Francisco and Buenos Aires, and she sang regularly
with the New York Philharmonic and other orchestras. Bampton, whose
repertory included Donna Anna in Don Giovanni, Alceste and several
Wagnerian roles, also made a number of recordings. Bampton was married
to Wilfrid Pelletier, a Conductor at the Met and the first Music Director of the
Montreal Symphony Orchestra, from 1937 until his death in 1982. Lightly
creased at margins and corners, touching signature and writing. Surface creased,
primarily at background. Overall, fair condition.
