Auxetophone Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 I thought I would share this Caruso program I've had for several years. It's not dated with a year, but I was able to figure out that he played at the Terminal Auditorium in Toledo on May 3, 1917 from a page in the May 6, 1917 edition of "Musical America."

melvind Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 The Hardman Piano ad in the program reminded me of a Caruso ad I have for Hardman pianos. This is lousy picture with glare from the glass, but it is a great piece and is signed by Caruso in 1910. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Analogous Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Nice stuff, guys. Any idea where the Hardman photo was taken? It's a baby grand and appears to be in a house not a showroom. Caruso got off easy in the Queen City. 3 arias he could sing in his sleep and he was outta there. But I don't think he was as lucky in Argentina in 1899. This program is for Yupanki, an obscure opera about an Incan warrior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auxetophone Posted June 16, 2020 Author Share Posted June 16, 2020 That photo was taken in his New York apartment, I believe. I think these photos were c. 1915. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auxetophone Posted June 16, 2020 Author Share Posted June 16, 2020 Oh, and here is an article from his visit to Toledo. It was rather amusing! Sadly I could not find page 6...if anyone is bored and wants to dig. Musical_America_6-16-1917_p5.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Analogous Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Note that the wall sconce is the same in your two pictures and Dan's Hardman ad. Bingo!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
