EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the roaring twenties and experience the magic of the Rialto Theatre on Broadway at 42nd Street in New York City. This programme cover from February 1922 invites us to an unforgettable evening of entertainment. Directed by Hugo Riesenfeld, the programme began with the overture to Verdi's Sicilian Vespers, a classical music masterpiece that set the tone for an enchanting night. The programme continued with a Pierrot Dance by the talented Marjorie Peterson, showcasing her grace and artistry. Next on the bill was a Paramount Picture entitled Loves Boomerang, a silent film that no doubt brought laughter and excitement to the audience. The programme then featured a baritone singer performing the iconic Toreador song from Bizet's Carmen, adding a touch of romance and passion to the evening. The main event, however, was the screening of Charlie Chaplin's Burlesque on Carmen. This comedic take on Bizet's opera was a crowd-pleaser and a testament to Chaplin's genius as a performer and filmmaker. The programme cover also offers a glimpse into the bustling streets of New York City, with cars and buildings lining Broadway and 42nd Street. The Rialto Theatre was a beacon of entertainment in the heart of the city, drawing in audiences with its diverse and captivating line-up of performances. Join us for an unforgettable journey back to the 1920s and the magic of the Rialto Theatre.
