Biography

Dorothy Kirsten (July 6, 1910, Montclair, New Jersey – November 18, 1992, Los Angeles, California) was an American operatic soprano. Kirsten came from a musical family: her mother was an organist and music teacher, her grandfather a conductor, and her great-aunt, Catherine Hayes, an opera singer. She left high school at 16 and worked for the Singer Corporation sewing machine company and New Jersey Bell while studying voice in her free time. Her teacher, Louis Darnay, later hired her as a secretary and maid.

Beyond opera, she performed on radio alongside Frank Sinatra (co-starring with him in Light-Up Time), Bing Crosby, Nelson Eddy, Jack Benny, and Perry Como. She also appeared in two films: Mr. Music (1950) and The Great Caruso (1951).

In 1965, Kirsten featured on the Firestone album series Your Favorite Christmas Music, Volume 4, singing "I Wonder As I Wander" and "Joy to the World."

Her final performance at the Metropolitan Opera took place on February 10, 1979, when she sang the title role in Tosca.
