Original double-sided paper, 1883 Grand Opera Festival opening night program booklet under the auspices of The Mendelssohn Club, directed by D. Blakely, Gen’l Manager. This attractive late-19th century opera and music ephemera piece measures approximately 4.25 x 7 inches and features a finely engraved portrait cover illustration copyrighted and engraved by John A. Lowell & Co., Boston, with ornate typography announcing “Opening Night, Monday, April 2.” Reverse title page identifies the event as the “Opening Night of the Grand Opera Festival” for 1883. A desirable piece of Victorian-era performing arts memorabilia, likely connected to American opera promotion and concert culture of the 1880s. Nicely displayable with period typography and engraved artwork. Scarce surviving example of regional music festival advertising/program ephemera.

Condition: corner crease, light general soiling, age toning, and handling wear consistent with age. Please inspect photos carefully for complete condition details.
