Following its radio debut in 1928, The Voice of Firestone aired on television between 1949 and 1963. Some of the world's most promising newcomers and established stars sang classical songs and current hits while Howard Barlow and his 46-piece orchestra accompanied them. Many of these telecasts are now available as part of this In Opera and Song series. This volume features soprano Roberta Peters singing popular tunes and arias from The Tales of Hoffmann, Rigoletto, and other operas. Peters made her Metropolitan Opera debut in 1950 with a role in Mozart's Don Giovanni.
