''Note: This article is about the opera. For the 1935 film of the same name, see Peter Ibbetson.'' ''Peter Ibbetson'' is an opera in three acts by American composer Deems Taylor from a libretto by Constance Collier and Deems Taylor based on the 1891 novel by George du Maurier. Taylor's music is attractive, often dramatically apposite, and vocally grateful. Certain passages in ''Peter Ibbetson'' are effective and moving. ''Peter Ibbetson'' was first performed at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City on 7 February 1931 and it appeared in four seasons for a total of 22 performances (in the house and on tour) until 1935 and the retirement of the two singers who created the starring roles, Lucrezia Bori and Edward Johnson. ==Performance history== The opera opened the 1933-34 Met season and was broadcast twice, in 1932 (when the operas were still being broadcast only in part) and again in 1934. On 29 June 1960 the Empire State Music Festival presented a performance of ''Peter Ibbetson'' which was broadcast. Licia Albanese was coached in the part of Mary by its creator, Lucrezia Bori. In 1999 the opera was revived in concert form by the Seattle Symphony Orchestra with Lauren Flanigan as Mary. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Peter Ibbetson (opera)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
