Signed boldly, in a black flair on the first page, by Jeritza, who introduced the role of the Empress in 1919. Jeritza (1887-1982) was one of the great dramatic sopranos of her day, noted for her acting ability, her beauty, her charisma. She was of Moravian origin and in the early part of her career, based at the Vienna State Opera, introduced a good number of important roles, but came to make her home base the Metropolitan Opera and ended up living most of her life in New Jersey. After retiring from the opera stage, Jeritza remained a public figure and was a regular presence at the Met. This performance of Die Frau Ohne Schatten had a stellar cast, with Leonie Rysanek as the Empress, James King as the Emperor, and Christa Ludwig as the Dyer's Wife. The role was one closely associated with Rysanek, who was responsible more than anyone else in reigniting interest in the opera, which had become relatively obscure but is now a part of the standard repertoire, and who basically owned the part for the rest of her career. Among other things, the challenging role was a perfect fit for Rysanek's voice, with its high tessitura for a dramatic soprano part, the range where Rysanek's voice had few peers.

The shipping cost provided automatically by ABE assumes that the item is the size of an average hardcover book. Since our stock is comprised largely of material which is bigger and heavier, we will often need to request additional shipping charges as a result. We pride ourselves on always packing safely, with the actual materials and method of packing depending on the item(s), where it is going, and with whom we are shipping. We most frequently use the post office, but on some high value items, or upon request, we may use alternatively UPS or FedEx. With the postal service, to domestic destinations with lower value items and the automatically furnished ABE shipping quote, we will usually use Media Mail; on higher value items we are partial to Priority or Express Mail. We will always seek to comply with a customer's wishes if they are communicated to us. When we seek additional shipping charges, we pass along those charges at our cost -- we do not add for handling or materials generally.
