Lillian Evanti bio in The Black Washingtonians

Madame Lillian Evanti
née Lillian Evans
b. 8-12-1890/91; Washington, DC
d. 12-6-1967; Washington, DC

Soprano Lillian Evanti was the first African-American to develop a professional career in grand opera. A graduate of Howard University, she studied and performed in many of the principal opera houses in France and Italy between 1925 and 1928. In 1932 the Metropolitan Opera exclusionary racial policy made it impossible for her to perform there; she did give a recital at the Belasco Theater, the only prestige stage in Washington, D.C. to present performances by African-American artists to segregated audiences and two years later she gave a command performance at the White House. Evanti made several concert tours in Africa, where she was decorated for her cultural contributions in Nigeria, Liberia, and Ghana. In 1957 she wrote the independence song for Ghana.

Evanti, her stage name, is a combination of Evans and Tibbs, the last name of her husband.
