Opera Star Jan Peerce A Colorful American Tenor
Jan Peerce, premier Metropolitan Opera tenor, appears Monday in the university auditorium. Born to Russian immigrant parents in Manhattan’s Lower East Side, he rose from a dance music violinist to a top tenor without formal conservatory study. His early career included the borscht circuit and Radio City revues before training with Giuseppe Boghetti and starring at the Met in 1941 as Alfredo in La Traviata. He has three grown children, the eldest pursuing drama at the University of North Carolina.
