Two years later, Amara made her debut at the Met as the Celestial Voice in "Don Carlo."

The Rome Opera, and the New York Philharmonic. She has given performances in Venezuela, the USSR, Mexico, Vienna, Paris and the Far East.

With great eloquence it can move armies, kindle love, and become one of the most magnificent and delightful presents that God has given us."
