Joseph Boromé research and writings on opera 1931-1976

http://archives.nypl.org/mus/20414

The Joseph Boromé Research and Writings on Opera consist primarily of the longtime City College professor's correspondence, research materials, and manuscript drafts of writings on opera and related topics in music history. The largest portion of the collection documents Boromé's efforts to do research for a proposed biography of the composer, Vincenzo Bellini; it also includes information that may be of interest to researchers studying the revival of the mid-twentieth century, as well as the economic aspects of nineteenth century opera performance history. bel canto
