Program Details

This is the only concert in this series for which the advertisements divide the program into three “parts” (separated here by intermissions). The program is typically listed without any breaks. The citations of the fantasia on Ernani list Verdi as its composer; Music in Gotham assumes the version performed was Thomas’s own.
