Dorothy Kirsten (1910-1992) - American operatic soprano.
Kirsten debuted at the Metropolitan Opera  with the role of Mimi in La Boheme on December 1, 1945, and continued to sing with the Met for the next thirty years. While she performed primarily in the United States, she did perform in Europe at times, and gave performances in the USSR in 1962, singing Violetta in La Traviata at the Bolshoi Opera. She sang in the American premieres of William Walton's Troilus and Cressida and Francis Poulenc's Dialogues of the Carmelites in San Francisco. Her last performance with the Met was on February 10, 1979 as the title role in Tosca.
In addition to her operatic activities, she sang on radio with Frank Sinatra (co-starring with him in Light-Up Time), Bing Crosby, Nelson Eddy, Jack Benny, Gordon MacRae, and Perry Como. She also appeared in two films, Mr. Music (1950) and The Great Caruso (1951). In 1965, she appeared on the Firestone album series, Your Favorite Christmas Music, Volume 4, singing "I Wonder As I Wander" and "Joy to the World".
