A rare true contralto, Claramae Turner achieved success in both the operatic and musical comedy worlds. The combination of her musical gifts and her unusual beauty allowed her to find favor with both Arturo Toscanini and filmmakers in Hollywood -- all the while maintaining the highest standards of performance; she was also a concert singer and recitalist of stature. On a side note, she was noted for observing an exercise regimen at a time when it was anything but fashionable among singers.
Turner studied in San Francisco with Giacomo Spadoni, Nino Comel, and Kurt Herman Adler (then the San Francisco Opera's chorus master, later its general director); she became a member of the San Francisco Opera chorus and sang often in local radio broadcasts. She had resolved in 1945 to travel to New York to expand her career opportunities; before she could act on her plan, however, she was approached by the Bush Street Music Hall to sing in their informal Gilbert and Sullivan productions. Amidst her 250 performances there in her first year, she was made a three-times-a-week regular on a radio program broadcast nationally. At one of her G&S performances, she was heard by San Francisco Opera director Gaetano Merola, who offered her a contract for the Italian and French repertories. She accepted and stayed with the company for a year.
After her season in San Francisco, Turner was determined to make good on her resolution to move to New York...more
