It has been announced that
Mary Jo Heath will become the new
Metropolitan Opera radio host. She replaces
Margaret Juntwait, who died earlier this year. In the history of the MET broadcasts (at one time sponsored by Texaco, and currently by Toll Brothers) there have only been four hosts
. Milton Cross was the voice of the MET for four decades, and he was followed by
Peter Allen, who had a twenty plus year run. Heath has been a producer for the broadcasts, and she replaced Ms. Juntwait when she fell ill. Heath will officially assume her new role with the first Sirius
broadcast of the season, the opening night performance of
Verdi’s
Otello on Monday, September 21.
