Peggy Bonini and Ingolf Dahl first worked together in 1952 while Miss Bonini was still a student at the University of Southern California. Mr. Dahl was conducting Menotti's The Consel, directed by Carl Ebert, and Miss Bonini had been chosen to sing the lead. The combination was very successful and for many years thereafter Miss Bonini and Mr. Dahl performed together in concert.
PEGGY BONINI has had a varied career as a singer in concert, opera, musical comedy, and oratorio, and as an actress in the legitimate theatre. She was a principal singer with the New York City Opera company for several reasons. Her versatile vocal talent has allowed her to sing a variety of roles, from Susanna in Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro, to the title role in Bizet's Carmen.
