Cincinnati Public Library's Genealogy and Local History Department's project, Exceptional Cincinnatians, returns with a new collection of little-known and untold stories of Cincinnatians whose work helped shape the city's cultural framework.
The project features a series of recorded oral histories presented in episodic mini documentaries that includes face-to-face interviews, scanned images and artifacts from the library's collection and present-day footage.
On Cincinnati Edition, we learn more about soprano Nadine Waters, a former resident of Cincinnati neighborhood Wyoming, and the indelible mark of her operatic career on Cincinnati's classical music scene.

"Waters was an African American woman and a native of the Cincinnati neighborhood of Wyoming. In the 1920s, Nadine studied at the prestigious New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, performed around Paris in the 1930s, and sang at some of the biggest venues in Cincinnati such as Memorial Hall, Music Hall, and Emery Auditorium."
