Title A name given to the resource Nellie Melba as Violetta from La Traviata, inscribed to Mr Southwell, 1909 Subject The topic of the resource Objects of Fame: Nellie Melba and Percy Grainger Description An account of the resource Melba’s earliest performance as Violetta in La Traviata by Giuseppe Verdi was during her first season in Brussels in 1887. At the time, her inexperience in acting was noted but the role later became a staple in her repertoire. It was as Violetta that Melba made her first appearance at Oscar Hammerstein’s Manhattan Opera House in early 1907.

Title A name given to the resource Newspaper clipping of Karlheinz Stockhausen in Australia, 1970 Subject The topic of the resource Electronic Music Description An account of the resource German composer Karlheinz Stockhausen visited Australia for ten days in April 1970. He gave concert-lectures on electronic music around the country, including three programs in Wilson Hall, at the University of Melbourne. Delivered through a battery of speakers, Stockhausen’s electronic music ‘transformed Wilson Hall into a vast and sometimes terrifying acoustic cave’, according to a local newspaper. Performances included his Telemusik (1966). The Grainger Centre electronic music enthusiasts, including Keith Humble, Ian Bonighton and Agnes Dodds, helped set up Wilson Hall with the electronic equipment. Stockhausen was apparently very demanding, and Wilson Hall was not the ideal venue, with not enough powerpoints for all the equipment.
