Monte Amundsen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Monte Amundsen was an American opera and musical singer who appeared on Broadway in Marc Blitzstein's musical Juno in 1959. She was briefly married to her co-star from that show, dancer Tommy Rall and later married opera star Giorgio Tozzi.
A gifted soprano, composer Marc Blitzstein was delighted with her voice and expanded her role in Juno to include three major songs: I Wish It So, For Love, and My True Heart, as well as a duet with Shirley Booth, The Bird Upon The Tree. The show was a flop, but her performance is preserved on the original cast recording.
In 1964 she appeared in another ill-fated musical, Cafe Crown, which closed after two performances.
She made many appearances at The Muny, playing Rosabella in Most Happy Fella (1969); Marie Esterhazy in Blossom Time (1966); Gretel in Hansel & Gretal (1966); Babara in Milk and Honey (1964); Marie Esterhazy in Blossom Time (1962); Anna Belle in Robin Hood (1961); Resi in The Great Waltz (1961); Gretchen in The Red Mill (1960); Adele in Fledermaus (1958); Gretel in Hansel & Gretal (1958); Adele in Rosalinda (1958);
