Florence Quivar

Florence Quivar (born March 3, 1944) is an American operatic mezzo-soprano who is considered to be "one of the most prominent mezzos of her generation." She has variously been described as having a "rich, earthy sound and communicative presence" as "always reliable" and as "a distinguished singer, with a warm, rich voice and a dignified performing presence." From 1977 to 1997 she was a regular performer at the Metropolitan Opera where she gave more than 100 performances. She retired from performance in the mid 2000s. Since 2014 she is a member of voice faculty at the Academy of Vocal Arts in Philadelphia.
