In the fall of 1947, Fortune Gallo's San Carlo Opera Company, the touring troupe known for bringing popular-priced grand opera to American cities, returned to Chicago for a three-week season. This is the subscription mailer sent to opera patrons ahead of that season, a nice piece of Chicago opera and performing-arts history for collectors of opera ephemera and anyone who loves 1940s printed paper.
Details
- The mailer includes a typed letter from Harry Zelzer, General Manager; a page of New York press comments with a message from the president of the Chicago Opera Company; and an inside spread with the personnel list, repertoire by evening, price scale and subscription blank.
- The season is stated as the Chicago 1947 season, October 6th to 26th, and the artist list includes names such as Richard Tucker, Astrid Varnay and Ramon Vinay.
Condition: Heavy brown beverage ring stains and drips across the letter and the inside spread, small tears and paper loss along the top edge and the left edge of page 2, fold creases and overall toning, as shown in the photos.
Please note: Packed flat and with care.
Please look over the photos, which are part of the description.
