Felix Weingartner (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • Andy961 said:
    Photo is of Felix Weingartner (1863-1942), Austrian conductor and composer. The news photo may relate to his appearances in the USA with the Boston Opera in 1912 and 1913.
  • Nathan Adams said:
    He reminds me of Christopher Walken.
  • Cynthia Wenslow said:
    LOC, you need to fix your caption and title for this photo. As Andy961 pointed out, it's FELIX Weingartner, not Felia.
  • The Library of Congress said:
    Andy961 and Cynthia Wenslow: Thanks for pointing out the more likely reading of the name on the negative and the likely identity of the subject. We'll adjust the information in our source data and then reload it to Flickr.

    Perhaps related to the August 16, 1919 performance at Sheepshead Bay Speedway described in Musical Courier books.google.com/books?id=7SIqQHZL2_wC&pg=RA8-PA33&am... The New-York Tribune., August 03, 1919, Page 6, Image 36 chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030214/1919-08-03/ed-... announces a performance at the same location for Sunday August 10, 1919. So perhaps there several open air performances that summer. NO -- According to the New-York Tribune., August 10, 1919, Page 7, Image 39 chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030214/1919-08-10/ed-... the "mammoth open air performance of Aida" was postponed from August 10 to August 16 because of the Brooklyn Car Strike.

    a negative review in the New York Tribune, August 24, 1919: "Racetrack opera is undoubtedly good for the health, that is except for the health of the singers, and the social benefits may also be many. Artistically it is hopeless. When the Metropolitan Opera House, which seats a little more than 3,000, is really too large for the finest artistic results, what will we say for an arena which seats ten times that number? " chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030214/1919-08-24/ed-...

    Art Siegel, that was an informative read -- I was expecting something else. (Grenville Vernon was the art critic for The New York Tribune and an author of several books on the performing arts.)

    Conductor Nahan Franko (1861-1930) in background.  Franko was Concertmaster of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra (1883 to 1907).  A violinist, Nahan made his debut at age 8 at Steinway Hall in New York City and then toured with Adelina Patti as a child prodigy. [1]
