Christiane Eda-Pierre was part of a groundbreaking generation of artists in the 1960s and 70s who helped expand the landscape of opera for future singers of color. Those fortunate enough to hear her at her peak experienced an artist whose voice combined lush tone, remarkable control, and dazzling upper register—all in service of deeply musical performances.

This rare compilation showcases her range and versatility, with excerpts from Orphée et Eurydice, Die Entführung aus dem Serail, Roméo et Juliette, Lakmé, Les Huguenots, Le Docteur Miracle, Les pêcheurs de perles, Rigoletto, and I puritani.
