In November 2015, I sent her CMA agent a recital program I had from 1990 and a picture politely asking for an autograph after reading the first poster. Sadly, I have never gotten my materials back even unsigned after multiple attempts on my part and even seeing her personal assistant in person at a master class at Carnegie Hall in January 2017. He had promised me via her agent and then by his personal email to return my documents to me at least 4 times over 2016. Never did. Only received excuses from him.
After a final attempt to get them back, I emailed her CMA agent who forwarded my email to her assistant. He responded promptly that he was sorry, but would get them to me but to give him until after the first of the year which I did. I reached out to him before Marilyn Horne's master class at Carnegie Hall on January 18th that I was attending to see if I could pick up my materials at CMA. No response.
I had offered to picked them up at CMA unsigned while I was in NYC (I wanted them back for my scrapbook), but he never responded to me. At the CH master class, I went up to him and introduced myself. He promised me that he would have it delivered personally to my hotel near CN, but he never did it. I offered multiple times to pick it up at the CMA office, but he told me he would personally deliver it to my hotel since he had caused such a delay. (By the way, I also had included in my original request a pre-paid return envelope.)
I would name her assistant here, but that would probably get me in trouble. Sadly, my materials are gone and I am completely disappointed. I would have never sent an irreplaceable program if I had known I would never get it back. I would highly suggest not sending Marilyn Horne anything especially if this man is still her assistant. He is not a person of his word.
