Remarks
Matinee broadcast
Helen Traubel’s last Met performance
A production by Joseph Urban (1920)
This was probably the only performance of the Metropolitan Opera to be interrupted intentionally. The break came during the opening of Act II when the orchestra stopped playing and Milton Cross, the commentator, broadcast to the audience and radio listeners an appeal for contributions. There were hisses, boos, laughter, and mock applause in the auditorium and angry telephone calls.
