The Gertrude Ribla Papers document the performing and teaching career of the American-born and trained opera singer through clippings, photographs, programs, publicity materials, and scrapbooks. Ribla, who entered the field of international opera in an unlikely manner, ultimately enjoyed a varied and distinguished career as a soprano. She performed with Arturo Toscanini, Eugene Ormandy, and the Metropolitan Opera before becoming a music teacher later in life. less
