Eleonora de Cisneros performed her first show with the Metropolitan Opera company in Chicago on November 24, 1899, marking her debut with the organization.
Cisneros was hired by the Metropolitan Opera in 1899 after being introduced by Jean de Reszke. As the first American-trained singer hired by the company, she performed in Chicago on November 24, 1899. The Met had toured American cities after its New York season beginning in 1898, which may contextualize this engagement, though no passage confirms this specific performance was part of a tour. The role and opera for this performance are not named in any supplied passage.
