1929réf. 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.

1976réf. 100846New York April 19 1976. 1976. Fine. - Over 60 words typed on 10-1/2 inch high by 7-1/4 inch wide "MET: Metropolitan Opera Association Lincoln Center" stationery. The executive director of the Metropolitan Opera Anthony Bliss replies to City Center's former producer and director Jean Dalrymple's suggestion that she could be helpful to City Center again in managing the four ballet companies associated with the MET "Regardless of what kind of arrangements we may make on behalf of the ballet companies we certainly will want to get the benefit of your ideas and experience." Signed "Tony". Folded for mailing else fine. Together with the retained copy of Jean Dalrymple's letter of April 6 1976. The executive director of the Metropolitan Opera Anthony A. Bliss 1913-1991 gave up his law practice in 1974 to take over what was then a financially troubled organization. He co-operated with music director & chief conductor James Levine and the director of production John Dexter in the early 1980's. Bliss was also co-chairman of the Joffrey Ballet. Though tall and distinctive looking his wife Sally described him as "the most unsophisticated man I ever met. I pick out his clothes." and elaborated by saying "He has no gourmet instincts: I could feed him a can of Alpo." With a sense of humor Bliss then started keeping a can of dog food on his desk. President Lyndon Johnson appointed Bliss to the original National Council on the Arts. The recipient Jean Dalrymple 1902-1998 was the dynamic producer and director of theater and light-opera at Manhattan's City Center. Dalrymple began her career in Vaudeville appearing with James Cagney and Carey Grant in the early 1930s. She was a founding member of the American Theatre Wing the theatre service organization. She worked over the years as a personal manager for the likes of Leopold Stokowski Mary Martin Jos Iturbi Andre Kostalanetz Nathan Milstein and Lily Pons. She began her work at City Center with its founding in 1943 serving as a board member and publicist. Her productions there from the 1940s through the 1960s were a revitalizing influence on the whole New York theatre scene. In 1951 Jean Dalrymple married Major-General Philip deWitt Ginder commander of the Thunderbirds in Korea. She was a friend to Presidents and entertainment personalities throughout the world.

1980réf. 28607New York: October 14 1980. 1980. Very good. - sc Quarto 11 inches high by 8-3/8 inches high. 201 words typed on a sheet of cream paper with her address typed at the top. Signed "Constance DeJong". The left edge of the paper is darkened & there is a light paper-clip mark to the top left corner with a small light stain just below the body of the letter. Very good. DeJong writes to Gary Wilkie of Contexts in Seattle to ask if she could present her new work there as part of a tour that will take her to Portland Oregon. She encloses a photo and resume: "It's not very up to date in terms of the new work I'd be presenting or the recently completed book and opera I wrote with Philip Glass." A publicity sheet from Art Performances New York states: "Constance DeJong is one of the young post-modern writers who has made performance a natural extension of her work as a writer. By blending some of the traditional techniques of theatre - lighting movement music - performances extend her work beyond the written word into an almost tactile presence a context where the narrative can come to life.
