EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the enchanting world of the Metropolitan Opera in this vignette from 1915. At the heart of the illustration, General Manager Giulio Gatti-Casazza is seen directing a troupe of trained animals, preparing for an opera production. The animals, dressed in elaborate costumes, add a whimsical touch to the otherwise grandiose opera setting. Surrounding the main scene, various vignettes offer a glimpse into the bustling backstage world of the Metropolitan Opera. In one vignette, a young Alfred Hertz conducts an orchestra with intense focus and passion, a testament to the talent that would later make him a renowned conductor. Another vignette showcases the legendary Enrico Caruso in full operatic regalia, serenading an adoring audience with his powerful voice. The Italian Standing Army, a group of men dressed for the theater, can be seen in the background, possibly critics or actors, adding to the lively atmosphere. A primadonna, too large to fit the chairs of the period, is depicted in another vignette, highlighting the challenges and adaptations that came with performing in the historic opera house. The celebrated Horseshoe section of the opera house is where a woman sits, taking in the magic of the performance. This charming illustration offers a glimpse into the rich history of the Metropolitan Opera, showcasing the passion, talent, and dedication that goes into each production. Dated January 9, 1915, this illustration is a captivating reminder of the Met's storied past.
