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

192920354Paris: Opéra Privé de Paris 1929. Good/No Dust Jacket As Issued. <br /> RUSSIAN MODERNISM REBORN ON THE PARISIAN STAGE.<br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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 -<br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> SUBJECTS: Ballets Russes Legacy Ivan Bilibin Stage Design Russian Émigré Art Paris Theater History Rimsky-Korsakov Tsar Saltan Interwar Opera Culture Russian Opera In Paris Chromolithographic Illustration Illustrated Performance Programs Opera Ephemera Theater History Russian Modernism Illustrated Programs.

Text in simplified Chinese characters 76 x 52.5cm occasional light creasing corner pinholes in very good and bright condition.

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. Reads: ‘Meyerbeer présente ses respectueux hommages à Mylady Molesworth & se rendra avec autant d’empressement que de plaisir à l’aimable invitation de Mylady pour dimanche prochain / Londres 14 Juillet 59.’ See image. 15 July 1859.
