"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

10235The letters all on letterheads of the British Broadcasting Corporation BBC mainly from Broadcasting House London dating from between 1944 and 1952. For more information about Stephen Manton Bradbury or Stephen Manton as he was known professionally see his obituary in The Times 8 September 1970. The collection is in good condition on aged paper. The correspondence from various figures in various BBC music departments both London and regional and in a variety of formats from 4to down to 12mo breaks down to the following number of items per year: 1944 8; 1945 5; 1946 30; 1947 34; 1948 32; 1949 22; 1950 11; 1951 15; 1952 1. A businesslike correspondence with only very occasional personal asides casting an interesting light on the relations between the BBC and individual artists during the Second World War and its aftermath. Topics include contracts fees dates and times of engagements apologies for erroneous billing responses to complaints and suggestions advertising in the Radio Times. On 2 January 1950 Charles Groves writes to assure Manton that 'in speaking of your lack of heroics I was only thinking of the music which you submitted to me and I can assure you that there is no bar on you that might prevent you from singing the music for which you are suited with the Northern Orchestra'. Also present are more than thirty typewritten cast lists for performances featuring Manton separated from the relevant item of correspondence and a few drafts of Manton's letters and a small amount of correspondence from other sources including two letters apiece from his agents Wardour Agency Ltd and from the London music publishers Chappell & Co. The letters, all on letterheads of the British Broadcasting Corporation [BBC], mainly from Broadcasting House, London, dating fr unknown
