Up for sale is my mother's Opera Memorabilia Collection. She was a huge opera and music fan. This is what she collected in over 60 years of going to the theater. She would probably roll over in her grave, if she knew I was selling these. There are over 70 pieces total.17 Metropolitan Opera programs from Cleveland Public Auditorium dating from 1953 - 1976.
12 Metropolitan Opera Librettos all from the 1950s or earlier.
20 brochures for the Metropolitan Opera at Cleveland Public Auditorium from the early 1950s on.
25 miscellaneous programs from Powers Auditorium, Stambaugh Auditorium, Youngstown Playhouse, Youngstown Symphony and Kenley Players.
Also included is an envelope containing over 50+ ticket stubs from all of these venues.
There is also a Knabe - Behind The Scenes special on Rise Stevens, Roberta Peters and Robert Merrill.
These items are not in mint condition. They are in good/average condition for books their age. They have normal wear and tear from being back and forth to the theater. Some items have slight dust/mildew staining from being stored on a shelf in the attic for the past 60 years. Some of the items may have the owner's name written on the inside cover.
Please look at the pictures. Let me know if you have any questions. I hope you enjoy these items as much as my mother did.
