Mahler, Gustav. (1860-1911)
Original 1906 "Figaro" Vienna Hofoper Broadside
A very scarce and unusual Vienna Hofoper broadside (single sheet flyer, 12 x 9 inch) from an October 12, 1906 performance of Mozart's "Die Hochzeit des Figaro" (Nozze die Figaro), conducted by Gustav Mahler. The performance featured singers Laura Hilgermann, Maria Gutheil-Schoeder, Berta Kiurina, Richard Mayr, and Friedrich Weidemann, and while the conductor's name is not printed - as was the custom - Mahler's name has been neatly penned above the title (and is confirmed as the conductor in the Hofoper archives). Two torn portions in margins, usual folds, otherwise fine. (3322)Program, unsigned Classical Music
