American Opera Company : ウィキペディア英語版
American Opera Company
The American Opera Company was the name of four different opera companies active in the United States. The first company was a short-lived opera company founded in New York City in February, 1886 that lasted only one season.〔"American Opera Organized" in the ''New York Times'', February 26, 1886.〕 The second company was based out of Rochester, New York and was active from the mid-1920s up until 1930 when it went bankrupt not too long after the Wall Street Crash of 1929. The third opera company was a short lived company located in Trenton, New Jersey that was active in 1937. The fourth and last opera company was actively performing in Philadelphia from 1946 through 1950.
==Jeannette Thurber's American Opera Company==
The first American Opera Company was founded in 1886 by well known arts patron Jeannette Meyers Thurber who had just founded the National Conservatory of Music of America a few months earlier. Based in New York City, the American Opera Company was under the musical direction of Theodore Thomas with Gustav Hinrichs and Arthur Mees assistant conductors and Charles E. Locke was the business manager.〔(Schuler's Books Online )〕 It rented the premises of the Academy of Music in New York City for local performances during 1886. It also toured, playing in April, May and June 1886 in, among other cities, Boston, Indianapolis, Philadelphia and St. Louis. The repertoire included Verdi's ''Aida'', Wagner's ''Lohengrin'', and Gounod's ''Faust''. In August, the company announced an ambitious plan to travel to Paris, a trip that never came about.〔"They May Go Abroad" in the ''New York Times'', August 21, 1886.〕
A succinct statement of Thurber's vision for the American Opera Company appeared in August, 1886, when she was cited as "... () the fact that the true conception of a national opera is opera sung in a nation's language and, as far as practicable, the work of a nation's composers, (that she hoped )…in time to develop and patronize American composers."〔"American Opera" in the ''New York Times'', Aug 18, 1886.〕
Financial difficulties led to a reorganization and name change to the "National Opera Company" in December 1886〔"President Thomas No More" in the ''New York Times'', Dec. 6, 1886.〕 and, ultimately, bankruptcy in March, 1887.〔"Its debts not discharged" in the ''New York Times'', March 4, 1887.〕
