Margaret Juntwait Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description

Margaret Juntwait (born circa 1957) is an American radio broadcaster who is to be the voice of the Metropolitan Opera's Saturday afternoon broadcasts beginning on December 11, 2004, replacing Peter Allen after twenty-nine years.

Raised in Ridgewood and Upper Saddle River, New Jersey, she studied to be an opera singer--she was a lyric soprano--receiving a degree in voice from the Manhattan School of Music. In 1991, she went to work for WNYC radio in New York City and also works for Sirius Satellite Radio.

Since 2004, she has been a back-up to Allen for the Met broadcasts. When the radio season begins with Verdi's Vespiri Sicilani, she will be only the fourth person ever to announce the broadcasts in their seventy-three year history after Milton Cross, Allen, and Lloyd Moss (who substituted just twice).
