She was known for her collaborations with American composers, such as Leonard Bernstein, Aaron Copland, David Diamond, Ned Rorem, and Virgil Thomson among others. Allen was part of the first generation of black opera singers to achieve wide success and is viewed as part of an instrumental group of performers who helped break down the barriers of racial prejudice in the opera world. She was greatly admired by Bernstein and the conductor notably chose her to be the featured soloist for his final performances as music director of the New York Philharmonic in 1973. After her singing career ended, she became a lauded voice teacher and arts administrator. (en)

  • Betty Allen, née le 17 mars 1927 et morte le 22 juin 2009, est une mezzo-soprano américaine qui a eu une carrière de chanteuse internationale dans les années 1950 - 1970. Dans la dernière partie de sa carrière, sa voix s'assombrit jusqu'à atteindre une tessiture de contralto. Elle est connue pour ses collaborations avec des compositeurs américains tels que Leonard Bernstein, Aaron Copland, David Diamond, Ned Rorem et Virgil Thomson. Allen fait partie de la première génération de chanteurs d'opéra noirs à remporter un large succès et est considérée comme ayant contribué à briser les barrières des préjugés raciaux dans le monde de l'opéra. Très admirée par Bernstein, le chef d'orchestre la choisit pour être la soliste vedette de ses dernières performances en tant que directeur musical du New York Philharmonic en 1973. Après la fin de sa carrière de chanteuse, elle devient une professeure de chant et une administratrice artistique renommée. (fr)
