Opera Star Eleanor Steber Triumphs From Child to Met Diva
Eleanor Steber, born in Wheeling West Virginia, rose from a childhood dream of becoming a opera singer to a star at the Metropolitan Opera. Her early training included the New England Conservatory and lessons with William L. Whitney and Paul Althouse. After winning the Metropolitan Opera Auditions of the Air in 1940, she debuted as Sophie in Der Rosenkavalier and later sang 19 roles at the Met, earning honors in her hometown and a celebrated Eleanor Steber Day.
