Description

Lovely though shaky footage of Belfast including Belfast Castle, the Antrim Road and the city centre. Our notes indicate this film was taken by Barbara Conrad – could this be the world-famous mezzo-soprano? It would be amazing to be able to confirm this. 

Notes

Barbara Smith Conrad (August 11, 1937 – May 22, 2017) was an American opera singer. A mezzo-soprano, she performed with the Metropolitan Opera, Vienna State Opera, Teatro Nacional in Venezuela, and many others. She was also an educator, co-directing the Wagner Theater Program, which she co-founded, and maintaining a private studio as well as taking up multiple artist residencies.
