Description: This is a rare April 9th, 1896 program from the one-night engagement of the Walter Damrosch Opera Company's performance of the RICHARD WAGNER opera "TANNHAUSER" at Parson's Theatre in Hartford, Connecticut ..... The opera starred BARRON BERTHALD in the title role and JOHANNA GADSKI as "Elizabeth" and included RIZA EIBENSCHUETZ, CONRAD BEHREN, WILHELM MERTEN, PAUL LANGE, GERHARD STEHMANN, ALBERT GELENG, EDWARD BROMBERG and AUGUSTA VOLLMAR. The New York Symphony Orchestra was conducted by WALTER DAMROSCH ..... PROGRAM DETAILS: The sixteen page program measures 5 3/4" X 8 5/8" inches and includes the list of the cast members, schedule of upcoming engagements and wonderful vintage advertising, but no photos or bios ..... CONDITION: (Please Note!) The program originally had twenty pages, but the center four pages were removed, there is creasing and minor stains at the top edge, a small tear in the outside edge of the front cover and moderate edge wear. Despite these flaws, this rare program will make a wonderful addition to the collection of any opera aficionado or historian. This item will be carefully packaged in a protective, carded sleeve and backed by stiff cardboard.
