OPERA NORTH – LA TRAVIATA – TWO ORIGINAL PROGRAMMES

Offered here are two original Opera North programmes for Verdi's La Traviata, from the company's 1985/86 season.

Both programmes relate to the same production, directed by François Rochaix, which received its first performance at Leeds Grand Theatre on 5 March 1985.

The programme states:

First Performance of this Production:
Leeds Grand Theatre, 5 March 1985

First Performance This Season:
Leeds Grand Theatre, 3 January 1986

La Traviata sponsored by the Friends of Opera North

The programmes contain contemporary information about the production, performers and Opera North, making them interesting pieces of original British opera ephemera from the company's important early period.

TWO PROGRAMMES ARE INCLUDED IN THIS LISTING.

They are being sold together as a pair and are not being offered separately.

Condition:
Both are original vintage programmes with considerable age-related yellowing/discolouration to the paper, together with general handling/storage wear, marks and creasing. The covers show signs of age and use. Please examine all photographs carefully as they form part of the condition description.

A particularly nice pair for an Opera North, Verdi or British opera-history collector.
