ref. 3735785New-York: Samuel French 121 Nassau Street 1855. 8vo. 34 2pp. Original printed wrappers ornamental border; light wear partial splitting along length of spine clean and well-preserved. Scarce American libretto for a mid-19th-century English opera troupe’s rendition of Rossini’s Cinderella performed at the Broadway Theatre in New York. While Rossini’s score is credited the adaptation is Anglicized and adjusted to suit the Broadway Theatre’s stage and audience. Based loosely on Rossini’s La Cenerentola 1817 this booklet was sold or distributed at performances serving both as a libretto and souvenir. This 1855 production starred Miss Louisa Pyne in the title role and Mr. W. Harrison as Prince Felix two leading figures of the Pyne & Harrison Troupe known for popularizing English-language opera in America during the 1850s. The cast list includes comic and magical roles such as Dandini Clorinda Thisbe and the Fairy Queen. unknown

The Opera director and producer tells Jean Dalrymple that he'd "be delighted to hear Jay Willoughby. However I'm off to San Francisco very shortly for Carmen". He asks if Willoughby could contact him when he's back. He goes on to invite Jean to the "second set of performances May 19-22 - featuring the first performance of Dominick Argento's monologue A Water Bird Talk and an incredible chamber opera written in Theresienstadt concentration camp - The Emperor of Atlantis." Signed in full "Ian Strasfogel". Folded for mailing the edges are very faintly darkened. Near fine. The one-act opera "The Emperor of Atlantis or The Disobedience of Death" Der Kaiser von Atlantis oder Die Tod-Verweigerung was composed by Viktor Ullmann and Peter Kien while interned at the Theresienstadt concentration camp in 1943. It was not allowed to be performed and the script was not finished until the 1970s. The poet Aaron Kramer prepared an English translation which the San Francisco Spring Opera Theater first performed in April 1977 and which had its New York premiere at the New Opera Theatre of the Brooklyn Academy of Music on May 19 1977. The world premiere of Dominic Argento's "A Water Bird Talk" also took place at the Brooklyn Academy of Music that same evening. The opera director and producer Ian Strasfogel born 1940 was the author of several plays screenplays and librettos and of a novel titled "Operaland". Strasfogel directed over 100 productions throughout Europe and North America and frequently collaborated with Gyorgy Ligeti Luciano Berio Bruno Maderna Hans Werner Henze and Otto Piene.
