Lady Hall, use thereof[edit]

Since Maria Ewing is no longer married to Peter Hall, should we delete "Lady Hall" from her name at the opening? DJRafe (talk) 00:29, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Where is she?[edit]

It seems that Maria Ewing has not performed in the met since 1997. I can't find any information about what she has done in the past decade. Where is she? AdamChapman (talk) 22:00, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Still alive as of March 2009. A Google News search turned up a March 2003 performance; I didn't look very hard for something more recent. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 21:22, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Home[edit]

The article ends "Ewing makes her home near her birthplace" [which is Detroit]. The only source cited is a Guardian article from 2003 (so hardly current), which states explicitly "Home for Detroit-born Ewing is now a corner of a country estate in Sussex [England], surrounded by fields of sheep". Huh? GrindtXX (talk) 22:08, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

An editor is ranting[edit]

Anyone who follows this talk page should be aware that an editor is ranting about Rebecca Hall and is claiming that she has none of the ancestry attributed to her via Maria Ewing. The editor is just ranting and cannot provide any basis for this claim. Robert McClenon (talk) 15:37, 4 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Father's History[edit]

On Finding Your Roots, January 4, 2022, researching the background of Rebecca Hall, census records were produced showing that Maria Ewing's paternal grandfather was of mixed African-American race, ("mulatto").This should be incorporated into this page, in my opinion. Marty Mangold (talk) 01:25, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A note on sources[edit]

The videography and discography in this article were constructed using images of the covers of Ewing's albums published by amazon and discogs. Niggle1892 (talk) 15:10, 16 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
