Silk programme for a State Performance of Roméo et Juliette, Royal Opera, Covent Garden, London, 4 July 1893

Description

Melba’s reign as prima donna at Covent Garden in London was assisted by patron Lady Gladys de Grey, whose husband was one of the venue’s powerful supporters. Melba’s role in this performance, staged by the command of Queen Victoria, indicates the star status she had achieved by the early 1890s.
