Up for auction is a 1939 program for the Metropolitan Opera’s touring week in Cleveland, OH at the Public Auditorium, March 27-April 1. This small booklet of 12 pages measures approx. 4” x 9” but it’s a rare gem. The performances that week were
· Otello Giovanni Martinelli, Lawrence Tibbet, Helen Jepson*…
· Louise Grace Moore*, Charles Kullman, Ezio Pinza, Marisa Morel, Louis D’Angela
· Die Walkuere Lauritz Melchior, Kirsten Flagstad*, Friedrich Schorr, Marjorie Lawrence
· Thais Helen Jepson, Norman Cordon, John Charles Thomas*
· Lohengrin Lauritz Melchior*, Kirsten Flagstad, Kerstin Thorborg
· Tosca Marjorie Lawrence*, Jan Kiepura, Lawrence Tibbett, Louis D’Angelo, Irra Petina
· Lucia di Lammermoor Lily Pons*, Giovanni Martinelli, John Brownlee, Ezio Pinza
Each opera has a dedicated page with cast list, introductory paragraph, synopsis of the opera, and a caricature (asterisked above) of one of the leading singers. Other pages about the sponsoring organization, The Northern Ohio Opera Assoc. Crease from being folded in half; a bit frail but overall, good condition. We combine shipping for media rate items.
Thanks for looking!
