This Sutton native was a remarkable soprano with an impressive international career that spanned across Europe and America. She made her debut at the Metropolitan Opera in 1935, playing Cio-Cio-San in Madame Butterfly, making her the first West Virginian to sing at the Met. Fisher's early years in Berlin were crucial as she performed small roles at the Berlin State Opera and immersed herself in the diverse world of opera, preparing her for larger roles without needing extensive rehearsal. After a time at the Worcester Festival in the United States and performances with prominent orchestras such as the New York Philharmonic and the Cleveland Orchestra, her summer seasons at the Paris Comic Opera further cemented her reputation as a leading soprano.

Her performances were not only limited to the opera stage; Fisher also sang at prominent events, such as President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s second inauguration in 1937. Her versatility and mastery over the operatic repertoire left a lasting mark on the classical music world.
