Ben Leyla Gencer: La Diva Turca.
New Turkish Original bdg. HC. 4to. (29 x 23 cm). In Turkish. 352 p., color and b/w ills. Ben Leyla Gencer: La Diva Turca. Ünlü keman virtüozu Isaac Stern Ilk 79 Yilim adli kitabinin önsözünde söyle der: "Müzigin hizmetine girmek bir meslek edinmek degil, bir yasam biçimidir. Bunun için iki seye sahip olmalisin: Birincisi, ne olmak istedigin hakkinda küçük yastan itibaren kesin bir fikre; ikincisi, o isteginin gerçeklesmesi için gereken özgüvene, mücadele gücüne ve gurura." Iste Leyla Gencer in müzik serüveni bu düsüncenin hayata yansimasi olmustur adeta. Safranbolulu bir baba ile Polonyali bir annenin kizi olan Leyla Gencer Çubuklu da dünyaya geldi, Fransiz dadisinin çokkültürlülügü ve evde piyano çalan annesinin söyledigi Lehçe sarkilar araciligiyla henüz hayatinin ilk yillarinda müzikle tanisti. Soprano Arangi-Lombardi ile çalismasi hayatinin dönüm noktalarindan biri oldu. Ilk opera temsilini Ankara da verdi. 1953 te Italyan radyosundaki kaydiyla da ilk kez sesini dünyaya duyurdu.Leyla Gencer, küçük yasindan itibaren sahnede olmayi aklina koymustu. Özgüveniyle, çaliskanligiyla, savasçi kisiligiyle hayatini bu fikre göre sekillendirdi. Opera kültürü olmayan bir ülkeden çikip, bu kültürle evrilmis bir ülkenin, Italya nin ortasinda kendini ispat etmek için verdigi mücadelelerle, tam yirmi bes yil boyunca operanin mabedi sayilan La Scala nin prima donna si oldu. Sonraki yirmi bes yil da, ölünceye kadar, egitimci olarak opera dünyasina hizmet etti.Zamaninin büyük sopranolariyla girdigi rekabetle, tarihi sefler ve rejisörlerle birlikte çalismasiyla, büyük bestecilerin gölgede kalmis yapitlarini kesfetmesiyle, repertuvarindaki yetmis üç opera ve canli temsillerden kaydedilen sesiyle yirminci yüzyil opera tarihine geçmeyi basaran La Diva Turca, bugün de Divalarin Divasi olarak anilmaktadir.Ben Leyla Gencer La Diva Turca kitabi, sesiyle ve dramatik gücüyle iz birakan sanatçiyi kisilestirerek kendini var etme yolculugunda yasadigi coskularini, hayal kirikliklarini, sevinçlerini, acilarini kendi agzindan hikâyelestirirken, okuru operanin coskulu yillarina götürüp müzik dünyasinda bir yolculuga çikariyor.

LA TRAVIATA . And the entire Opera of LUCREZIA BORGIA. Lucrecia Borgia - Signora Lorini."
<p>Boston: Transcript Job Printing Office 1863. 1863. Very good. - An original 10-3/8 inch high by 6-5/8 inch wide broadsheet announcement for the Grau Italian Opera Company's performances of "Norma" "Les Noces de Jeannette" "La Traviata" and "Lucrezia Borgia" with a 2-7/8 inch high by 6-5/8 inch wide tipped-on overlay advertising the following week's performances of "I Puritani" and a performance of "Oratorio and Sacred Concert" several featuring the Opera Soprano Madame Lorini in the title roles. The broadsheet advertises the Friday February 27 performances of "Norma" and "Les Noces de Jeannette" and the following Saturday & Sunday's performances of "La Traviata" and "Lucrezia Borgia" with the Following week's Monday performance of "I Puritani" and the Tuesday performance of "La Juive" printed on the recto of the overlay tipped on over the Saturday program with that Sunday's "Oratorio and Sacred Concert" advertised on the verso of the overlay.

There is some minor foxing and darkening and the broadsheet is mounted from the verso onto slightly larger heavy cream paper. Very good.</p><p>The Brau Italian Opera Company began a six week engagement at the Boston Academy of Music on February 9th. This was the last time that what became "The Boston Theatre" was called "The Academy of Music". Among the singers were Madame Lorini Mlle Morensi Signor Maccaferri Signor Susini Mademoiselle Cordier Signor Dubreul etc.</p><p>The November 15 1862 New York Herald review of an earlier performance of "Norma" at the Academy of Music possibly the Brooklyn Academy of Music in that case highly praises the quality of the Soprano's voice "It follows as a matter of course from what we have just stated that Madame Lorini's debut last night was a success. She had sung but a few passages when the audience recognized the beautiful quality of her voice--pure round and fresh--and though not as powerful as one would wish to hear in Norma still with volume sufficient to give a perfect interpretation of the music of the part. Her method is excellent and exhibits evidence of her Italian training."</p> [Boston]: Transcript Job Printing Office, 1863.

McCormic, Mary (1889-1981). American Opera Soprano and later professor of opera at the University of North Texas College of Musi
ORIGINAL MATTE-FINISH PHOTOGRAPH of the AMERICAN OPERATIC SOPRANO MARY McCORMIC INSCRIBED & SIGNED BY HER.
April 20 1935. 1935. Very good. - An original 10 inch high by 8 inch wide matte-finish sienna-toned photograph of the soprano by Melbourne Spurr of Los Angeles. The photograph a head and shoulders portrait of Mary McCormic portrays her in a dark jacket over a matching dark blouse with a brooch in the lapel of the jacket. The singer gently smiles straight at the camera. The photographer's name "Melbourne Spurr Los Angeles" is embossed in blind at the bottom left of the image and his credits are stamped in blue on the verso. The photograph is inscribed diagonally at left to the Nashville Golden Glove Boxing referee Fitz Waldrip and signed and dated by the singer: "To Fitz Waldrip with best wishes / Mary McCormic / April 20 1935". The first 2 letters in "April" are slightly smudged. The top edge of the photograph is roughed possibly from having been removed from an album as would be indicated by rubbing evident along the top edge of the verso. The bottom corners are very lightly bumped. Very good. <p>Said to have been among most famous sopranos in the world during the 1920's and 30's Mary McCormic 1889-1981 was known for her leading roles with the Paris National Opera the Opera Comique the Monte Carlo Opera and the Chicago Civic Opera. Born in Belleville Arkansas McCormic became interested in becoming an opera star at the age of 9 years old. She first studied voice with Emil Frey Myers and her potential became known to others by way of a singing contest sponsored by Mary Garden. She would become a protege of Mary Garden. Following her opera career the dean of the University of North Texas College of Music Wilfred Bain convinced her to create an Opera Workshop at the school in 1944. McCormic founded directed and defended the school's workshop which she built from scratch on a shoestring budget. She went on to mold the school's opera workshop over 16 years. The only opera company in existence in the Southwest the North Texas Opera Workshop was the first collegiate touring opera workshop west of the Mississippi and McCormic pioneered an approach to low-cost opera in an era of dwindling funds. Upon its founding in 1957 the Dallas Opera drew on the North Texas Opera Workshop for a steady supply of gifted singers for its chorus. April 20, 1935. unknown
