Description
A collection of posters, handbills and programmes relating to performances of Zarzuelas presented by Joseph Ortiz (1928-89) and given at various venues in New York between 1984 and 1985.
This material, held loosely in two boxes, forms part of the Joseph Ortiz archive, acquired by Trinity College of Music in 2001 from Michael Holden, the nephew of Joseph Ortiz.
Ortiz was of Spanish descent and for the last 11 years of his life worked in the Library of the Metropolitan Opera in New York. He was particularly interested in the history and performance of Zarzuelas (a Spanish form akin to the operetta and the Singspiel) and established links with Placido Domingo through the City Hall Opera Society.
