Melba and Czech violinist, Jan Kubelik, undertook a joint concert tour of the United Kingdom in 1912–13, followed by this tour in the United States and Canada in 1913–14. The UK tour ran from October 1912 to August 1913 with Melba performing in two Covent Garden seasons within that time. The North American tour took place over a period of six months. The pace of each was relentless with Melba and Kubelik performing in a different city every few days.
