While undergoing routine surgery to remove a benign tumour, Ruby Elzy died. She was only thirty-five. Had she lived, she would have been one of the first black artists to appear in grand opera. During her brief career, Ruby Elzy was in the top tier of American sopranos. This biography recognizes her contribution to American music, and tells her tragic yet inspiring story.
