Product Description
CD89178 Thomas: Mignon New Orleans 1952 Thebom/Hurley/Simoneau
A rare tape recording ( as it is said to be) I obtained in trade some years ago seems not to have been uploaded to Operashare, despite its great age. One can only imagine how a live performance in 1952 got recorded when it was not broadcast, but I think this is a case of such. Ambroise Thomas's "Mignon" was presented in New Orleans on the 20th of March that year. I think the cast I have is incomplete. Further help on that would be good. The recording is surprisingly good for the period and the voices come out well.
Best wishes Roger D Bell Lancashire England
The performance details are:
Ambroise Thomas MIGNON New Orleans Opera c. Walter Herbert 20th March 1952
Mignon: Blanche Thebom Philine: Laurel Hurley Wilhelm Meister: Leopold Simoneau Lothario: Nicola Moscona Frederic Jarno Antonio Laerte
Audiotape converted to .wav and then to mp3 at 256 kbps. Several tracks as landmarks. No cue sheet.

We sell only opera recordings. The recordings are sent to you in paper sleeves with no tray card or inserts, just the raw discs with printed labels. These recordings are of nonprofessional quality that are in the public domain. The quality of these old opera recordings is not very good and they are meant for collectors and educational purposes only. Most of them are 30 or 40 years old, so they might be blurry, colors faded, and not sound very good, but they might not be available elsewhere. Please note that most of our recordings do not have tracks, they have 1 long track per disc.
