The name of the director of the Metropolitan Opera ist Heinrich Conried, not "Conreid" as written in the title and the description of the foto. As Conried died on 27 Apr 1909, the foto can be dated correctly with 1909. Source: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinrich_Conried

..and there's a 1909 date in the margin.

Opera singers Leontyne Price and Robert Merrill sang amidst the Metropolitan Opera House's construction. Merrill's baritone was often heard at Yankee and Giants Stadiums, singing the National Anthem. Price once performed at the Library of Congress Coolidge Auditorium (1953).

the funeral does look like it's in a theater with a set as the backdrop. but these pictures are supposed to start in 1910. Yet his funeral was at the Metropolitan Opera House on May 13, 1909. An account of the funeral: query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9806E5DE1E31E733A...

Thanks all! We'll look int it.
