La Fanciulla del West
Metropolitan Opera House, Mon, April 11, 1966 Matinee
La Fanciulla del West (68)
Giacomo Puccini | Guelfo Civinini/Carlo Zangarini
This was the first performance in the new Metropolitan Opera House at Lincoln Center, a regularly scheduled Student Performance sponsored by the Metropolitan Opera Guild. The audience of students and teachers was diverted at the last minute to the almost completed new building twenty-four blocks uptown. It was the first full test of the theater's acoustics and featured cannon shots from the stage to test the reverberation time. Also present as guests of the management were a number of artists, including Leonie Rysanek, Franco Corelli, and Richard Tucker.
