Judith Blegen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Judith Blegen (born April 17, 1940 – ) is an American soprano who was born in Missoula, Montana. She made her Metropolitan Opera debut in 1970, as Papagena in Die Zauberflöte, and became a great favorite there. The soprano also appeared in Vienna, London and Paris.
Among Blegen's recordings are of Menotti's The Medium (with Regina Resnik), Puccini's La bohème (as Musetta, opposite Montserrat Caballé, Plácido Domingo, Sherrill Milnes and Ruggero Raimondi, conducted by Sir Georg Solti), Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro (as Susanna, with Heather Harper as the Contessa, conducted by Daniel Barenboim) and Carl Orff's Carmina Burana (with Robert Shaw conducting). The latter was one of the first digital recordings released by Telarc. In more recent years, she was the soprano soloist on the album The Angelic Sounds of Christmas: Music for the Glass Armonica.
