Text in simplified Chinese characters 76 x 52.5cm occasional light creasing corner pinholes in very good and bright condition. In Chinese opera individual characters are distinguished by highly codified facial make-up often described as painted “masks” and in some regional traditions particularly Sichuan opera by the use of actual masks. These visual conventions function as an interpretive guide for audiences signalling a character’s identity personality and moral attributes. Musical style facial design and costume vary markedly between regional operatic forms including Beijing opera Sichuan opera Yue opera and Cantonese opera reflecting distinct local performance traditions and aesthetic systems. . 四川美术出版社.

1929ref. 20354Paris: Opéra Privé de Paris 1929. Good/No Dust Jacket As Issued. RUSSIAN MODERNISM REBORN ON THE PARISIAN STAGE. A visually striking Première Saison program documenting the post-Diaghilev continuation of Russian operatic and theatrical culture in interwar Paris. Issued by the newly founded Opéra Privé de Paris in 1929 this richly illustrated production program for Rimsky-Korsakov's 'Tsar Saltan' preserves the artistic language of the Ballets Russes through tipped-in color costume and scenic designs after Ivan Bilibin and Alexandre Korovine. Founded immediately following the death of Sergei Diaghilev the Opéra Privé de Paris sought to sustain the creative energy of Russian émigré theater in Western Europe. This production united performers designers and musicians associated with the Russian diaspora transforming Pushkin's fairy-tale opera into a vivid expression of émigré modernism transplanted into the cultural life of Paris. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Quarto format approximately 9.5 × 12.5 inches. Stapled illustrated wraps with full-color chromolithographic cover after Ivan Bilibin. Illustrated with six tipped-in color chromolithographs of costume designs after Bilibin executed from stage maquettes by Alexandre Korovine together with two additional tipped-in scenic plates and a tipped-in color portrait of Madame Maria Kousnezoff-Massenet by Nicolas Kousnezoff. Numerous illustrated period advertisements throughout including several full-page advertisements. CONDITION: One advertisement leaf detached but present. Plates remain vivid and visually strong with only light handling wear to the wraps. Staples sound. A well-preserved and unusually attractive example of interwar Parisian opera ephemera. Première Saison issue. Première Saison programs of the Opéra Privé de Paris survive in comparatively small numbers particularly examples retaining the full suite of tipped-in color plates after Ivan Bilibin. Comparable illustrated programs from this short-lived company appear only intermittently in the market especially in near-complete condition. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE - The Opéra Privé de Paris was co-directed by the Russian soprano Maria Kousnezoff-Massenet and functioned as an important cultural bridge for displaced Russian artists after the Revolution. Though short-lived the company preserved important elements of Russian operatic staging and Ballets Russes visual identity during a transitional moment in European theater history. Ivan Bilibin's influence on Russian stage aesthetics remained profound well into the twentieth century and his designs for productions such as 'Tsar Saltan' helped define the visual mythology of Russian folklore on the international stage. This program captures a pivotal moment in the evolution of Russian theatrical modernism after the dissolution of the Ballets Russes. Following Diaghilev's death in 1929 Russian émigré artists in Paris sought new institutional forms through which to continue the aesthetic innovations that had transformed European stage culture during the previous two decades. The production of Rimsky-Korsakov's 'Tsar Saltan' adapted from Pushkin's fairy-tale poem provided an ideal vehicle for this visual and musical continuity. The decorative richness of Ivan Bilibin's folkloric imagery combined with the scenic interpretation of Alexandre Korovine preserves the highly ornamental stage language that became synonymous with Russian theatrical design in the early twentieth century. Beyond its theatrical importance the program also presents a vivid portrait of interwar Parisian cultural life. Its advertisements portraiture typography and chromolithographic inserts collectively illustrate the commercial and artistic environment surrounding Russian émigré performance culture in France between the wars.

Addressed to ‘Dear Mr. Catry’ and signed ‘With all best wishes - and thank you for writing! / Sincerely / Eric Crozier.’ He asks him to forgive a typed letter as he is ‘convalescing from a heart-attack and still not very good at hand-writing. / The opera I must enjoyed producing was I suppose my very first - Smetana’s THE BARTERED BRIDE in 1943 in a new English version made by Joan Cross and myself which stayed in the repertoire at Sadler’s Wells and Covent Garden for twenty years.’ He recalls that it was first staged ‘during the black-out to audiences starved of colour and gaiety: our first audience included the Czech government in exile - President Benes Jan Masaryk and others - and on the second night they took the whole theatre for their fellow-countrymen to see what all Czechs regarded as their national opera’. The rest of the letter concerns his next production Britten’s ‘Peter Grimes’ ‘a world-wide event’ premiered at Sadler’s Wells in 1945 ‘and one year later I staged the American premiere with Leonard Bernstein as conductor at Tanglewood. I worked with Britten and Montagu Slater the librettist throughout the writing and composition of that great work which has had I would guess a greater international success than any other English opera all through the past fifty years. It is still being staged - Rostropovich will conduct performances of it at the Barbican this March.’ 10 January 1993, with address label of ‘ERIC CROZIER, OBE / 4 THE TIMBERYARD / GREAT GLEMHAM / SAXMUNDHAM / SUFFOLK’. unknown
ref. 2439115 July 1859. London. Meyerbeer is said to have been the most frequently performed opera composer during the nineteenth century. He encouraged and supported the young Wagner who turned on him viciously later in life. Lady Molesworth née Andalusia Carstairs d.1888 had herself been a professional singer. She was the widow of Sir William Molesworth 1810-55 founder of the London Review and owner under the editorship of John Stuart Mill of the Westminster Review. Regarding the present item Meyerbeer notes in his diary for Sunday 17 July ‘Big dinner and musical soiree at Lady Molesworth’s.’ Sir Charles Santley recalls in his reminiscences ‘singing for Meyerbeer at a party at Lady Molesworth’s house’ in order to reassure him that he was up to the part of Hoel in Chorley’s English version of ‘Dinorah’. 1p 12mo. On recto of first leaf of a bifolium. In fair condition lightly aged and folded four times for postage. Blot at top right-hand corner in same ink as note.
