Thomas and a program of the first performance of the work ever presented at the Metropolitan, on January 11, 1913. OPERA NEWS explores the various facets of this diverse work and their subtle reflections of its eccentric author and frustrated composer through the eyes of perceptive young educators from Texas, Oxford and Indiana. Aida Favia-Artsay, who reports on the new LP disc made from the cylinders recorded by Lionel Mapleson in the Opera House at the turn of the century, is an ardent discophile and former singer.
