Elvira Green has had a prolific career as an opera singer. She went from the Dudley High School choir to the halls of the Metropolitan Opera in New York. She was one of the few African-American women to break into a permanent spot at the Met during the 1970s as a mezzo-soprano. She performed her signature role as Maria in the opera "Porgy and Bess."
