17913005370Paris: l'Auteur 1791. Some small tears and damage. A very good copy. Octavo; original condition stitched in plain blue-grey wrappers. <p><p>First edition of one of the most popular operas of the Revolution depicting the down-trodden villagers of the Moon after the arrival of the glamorous aviator Nicodème bringing news of events in France via Montgolfier balloon. Although this was an era of tremendous advances in stagecraft as the theatres of Paris and London vied with each other for the most stupendous effects Beffroy's lunar setting and the use of space travel by hot-air balloon was highly unusual. </p> <p>Beffroy de Reigny 1757-1811 was a successful journalist and dramatist usually writing under the nom-de-plume of "Cousin Jacques." His most important works were written in the period immediately following the French Revolution and he was fond of using lunar society to satirise the French as can be seen in his burlesque journal Les Lunes and its successor the Courrier des planètes.</p> <p>This is one of several Paris editions of the same year another appeared in Avignon and a "third" edition of 1797 is also recorded the last with subtle but pessimistic changes to the text. As the title confirms the opera was first performed in November 1790 running for over four hundred performances.</p> </p> . l'Auteur unknown

219368Tianjin.: 毓順成 芳記. Yushuncheng fangji. Early 20th Century. Four handbills showing popular images two 13.2 x 18.4 are images of characters from Peking Opera and two 12.2 x 16.5cm depict themes important in Chinese society at the time. Text in traditional Chinese characters. Light even browning tiny closed tears at margin of one sheet repaired with washi. Very good. Chinese opera characters in the style of traditional woodblock prints were popular in the late Qing dynasty and early Republican period. Handbills of characters from Beijing opera were sold as collectible items that also helped to familiarise people with the characters of different operas; their costumes make up weapons and names. In this case there are two characters from the opera 白水灘 on one handbill and three characters from the opera 落馬湖 on the other. <br> <br>Images with social themes also made popular handbills especially in places such as Tianjin where the influence of foreigners was pronounced. In 福壽財源 we see an immortal carrying a peach of longevity surrounded by images of fertility - a young woman and boys carry fruit and flowers as well as other items symbolic of wealth - a coin a vase gold ingots and so on probably issued for New Year. <br> <br>The final handbill of the four 娶大媳婦 tells the tale of a girl of eighteen married to a boy of seven. The Chinese custom of marrying a young boy to an older girl adopted into the family is thus open for discussion - everyone in the image clearly has a different opinion of the situation; from the young husband the older farmer in the background and the two men in long scholars robes to the modern young man in a western suit with leather shoes as well as the girl herself. The practice of adopting a girl to bring up as a future wife for a male child was made illegal in 1949. The text mentions some of the ways in which the girl would be expected to help in her adoptive family's home. . 毓順成 芳記. [Yushuncheng fangji] hardcover

He thanks him for his 'delightful' card and for 'yr. good wishes & for the tickets you so kindly send me for The Miracle. It was most thoughtful of you.'

RE Anderson & G & S: "The artist and costume designer Percy Anderson 1851-1928 was based in London where he exhibited watercolours at the New Water Colour Society in 1886. He designed costumes for the original productions of the last four Gilbert and Sullivan operas at the Savoy Theatre - The Yeomen of the Guard 1888 The Gondoliers 1889 Utopia Limited 1893 and The Grand Duke 1896 and for several D’Oyly Carte revivals including that for Utopia Limited considered by Rupert D’Oyly Carte in 1926 and but never realised. Given Gilbert’s exacting attitude to his productions it is an accolade to Anderson that he worked with Gilbert on so many including Gilbert and Edward German’s Fallen Fairies 1909 when Gilbert said Anderson: ‘surpassed himself’". 12 March 1912, 31 December [1912], and the other two without year; all on letterheads of 55 York Terrace, Regent's Park, N.W. unknown

Contemporary black vinyl 3-ring binder minor scuffing edgewear still VG exemplar. A wonderful original ballet director’s art direction notebook for the Peter Pan ballet staged in 1984 intended to offer young up-and-coming ballet students at the time to experience live performances and to unify Eastside/Westside Royal Academy of Dancing trained students. It would be 5 years before the Oregon Ballet and Pacific Ballet Theater would consolidate under the direction of James Canfield to form the Oregon Ballet Theatre. This ballet featured four acts divided into The Nursery Neverland Ship of the Pirates and Conclusion featuring solos by Wendy Tinker Bell Peter and Captain Hook over the length of the production. Dancers 4-5 years old were featured as the Neverland Fairies 5-7 years old with 2 years of training and pre-primary Royal Academy examinations behind them played Forest Fairies; Lost Children were 6-9 years old and had performed Barre and footwork; followed by the Pirates and soloists including Wendy Heather Miller Peter Pan Laura Spradlin Captain Hook Elizabeth Johnson and the mermaids drawn from the Lake Oswego School of Ballet under the directorship of Christine Donald. The original score by Anita Perry b. 1960 an up-and-coming Canadian composer out of British Columbia where she had studied piano with Lee Kum Sing and composition with Cortland Hultberg. In her early 20’s M. Perry had already won several composition awards was known for her original ballet works and wrote this score with orchestration for a variety of instruments “lending to the performance. . . a more closely approximated real environment experienced by professional dancers.†Peter Pan as a ballet required a fair amount of athleticism and as indicated here in Higgins’s artistic director’s notebook required extensive choreography changes scene adjustments and revisions by M. Perry. Higgins studied and danced at the British Royal Ballet later with Elvie DeMarko 1924-1989 of Ballet Russe and then with Robert Barnett of the Atlanta Ballet. No similar notebooks or programs survive for this 1984 ballet and there are no recordings or printed musical scores this cataloguer could uncover.

1957208291957. Press photograph archive of African American women opera singers 1957-1977 documents the emergence and international recognition of Black performers within mid twentieth century classical music and operatic institutions. The images center on four prominent singers whose careers developed during and after the era of segregation when access to major stages and audiences expanded unevenly for Black artists. Figures such as Marian Anderson who broke barriers at the Metropolitan Opera in 1955 established a precedent for subsequent generations; the performers represented here advanced that presence through sustained international careers providing visual evidence of African American participation in elite cultural institutions during a period of social and cultural change.<br /> <br /> Six black and white silver gelatin press photographs each approximately 8 x 10 inches with captions and markings on recto and verso. Subjects include Adele Addison in two studio portraits from the 1950s later known as the singing voice for Bess in Porgy and Bess 1959; Shirley Verrett in two images including an early news photograph prior to a performance at Ambassador College Auditorium and a later 1976 stage portrait in formal concert dress; Martina Arroyo in a 1977 portrait during the height of her international career; and Grace Bumbry depicted in costume as Princess Eboli in Verdi's Don Carlos at the Metropolitan Opera in 1965. The photographs capture both staged publicity portraits and performance contexts documenting professional presentation and artistic identity.<br /> <br /> Produced during decades of expanding civil rights advocacy and gradual institutional integration the archive situates African American women within a field historically shaped by exclusion and limited access. Their visibility in major opera houses and concert venues reflects broader shifts in cultural recognition and professional opportunity while also underscoring the continued significance of performance as a site of racial and gendered representation. Minor edge wear; captions remain legible; overall very good condition. unknown

Number 9 of an edition limited to 50 copies this impression an apparent second state of seven. <br /> <br /> Oppler is considered the premiere chronicler of ballet in Germany. "He spent his student years in Munich London and Holland before settling in Berlin in 1905. As a member of the Berliner Secession he developed into a sought-after portraitist and from 1912 through his drawings and graphic works to one of the perhaps to the most significant German artistic chroniclers of ballet history. Especially the Ballets Russes and their soloists owe to Oppler's enthusiasm an appreciation known until today only among ballet afficionados. Oppler is recognized as the inventor of an illuminated drawing pencil which enabled him to sketch from the audience during rehearsals and performances." Deutsches Tanzarchiv Köln. unknown

Cyril Beaumont 1891-1976 and Sir Sacheverell Sitwell 1896-1988 collaborated on this work after meeting in Beaumont's bookshop on Charing Cross Road.
