    Description

    This set includes a four-page advertising herald promoting the 1934 concert recital of Prima Donna LUCREZIA BORI and a1935 program from the Metropolitan Opera's production of "PELLEAS ET MELISANDE" with LUCREZIA BORI as "Melisande".
    Opera singer Lucrezia Bori (1887-1960), known for years as the grande dame of the Metropolitan Opera, was one of its most beloved sopranos. In 19 seasons, more than 600 performances, and 29 roles with the company, her grace, style, and musicality made her a critically acclaimed and enormously popular star. Her artistic integrity, personal dignity, and lack of temperamental behavior also made her one of opera's most gracious figures.
    Bori's long association with the Metropolitan Opera began in 1910 in Paris, when she was invited to replace an indisposed colleague as "Manon" in Puccini's
    Manon Lescaut
    with the touring New York company. After an enthusiastic response to her portrayal, two more performances were added and quickly sold out. Her first American appearance was in the same role at age 24, opposite the legendary Italian tenor Enrico Caruso, performed on the opening night of the Metropolitan Opera's 1912-1913 season in New York.
