GENEVIEVE WARNER, soprano

Can someone provide additional information about this MET opera singer - I've searched the internet for information

and found only what is detailed below.

Thanks!

Cheers, Thomas.

Genevieve Warner

born 1928, Amsterdam NY

education ???

JULLIARD Graduate School of Music -  years ???

Winner MARIAN ANDERSON Award  -  year ???

MET debut: Die Zauberflöte 11/25/1950

August 1951 assaulted and robbed in Edinburgh

many MET appearances 1950-54

NY Times January 23, 1955 "signed a year s contract to sing leading soprano roles at the opera house in GELSENKIRCHEN, Germany."

a very brief April 13, 1961 NY Times obit for her mother Mrs. MARY WARNER states

"Miss Warner's married name is Countess Puslowski."

I assume this refers to Genevieve Warner - I can speculate that Warner married in 

Germany and retired ??????
