- Quaintance Eaton was born in Kansas City, Missouri, where she became an opera devotee before moving to New York City in the early 1920s. She wrote frequent articles on the subject for Musical America magazine, eventually becoming associate editor, and was also a contributing editor to Opera News. She also served as executive secretary of the National Federation of Music Clubs and of the New York City Opera Guild. Miss Eaton was the author of an anecdotal history of the Metropolitan Opera on tour entitled Opera Caravan (1957). Two further classic volumes of opera history followed, The Boston Opera Company (1965), and The Miracle of the Met (1968). Her last work was Sutherland and Bonynge: An Intimate Biography (1987), a study of the foremost husband-and-wife team in the world of opera in that period.

This is a listing of most of the operas one would find on the American stage in the mid-20th century, with outlines of the basic production requirements, e.g. roles and voice types required, instrumentation, any basic staging requirements, and then listings of which companies had the work in their repertoire and any volumes where one could find set photographs, etc. Probably most useful I would assume for smaller companies and amateurs of the time.
As mentioned, it sadly has no value now for a range of reasons, but glad to know it existed nevertheless.… (mere)
