Dorothy Warenskjold

Dorothy Lorayne Warenskjold (May 11, 1921 in Piedmont, California – December 27, 2010 in Lenexa, Kansas) was an American lyric soprano who had an active career in opera, concerts, radio, television, and recitals from the mid-1940s through the early 1970s. She made several recordings for Capitol Records; other recordings were later released from restored material. She was fully California born, trained, and resident, in an era when the ranks of classical singers were dominated by Europe or New York. Her career was marked by early success and later forgottenness. Former Chicago Symphony President Henry Fogel wrote, "Warenskjold was a fine lyric soprano who deserved a bigger career than she had."
