Opera Publicity, 1947-1963, undated

The Daniel A. Harris Papers comprise a very small collection of printed matter that advertised and reviewed productions in which Harris performed, and those of singers from the Oberlin Conservatory such as his student Jane Marsh. The collection includes posters for operas, program notes, newspaper clippings and show reviews, lyrics from Harris’ productions, and alumni and miscellaneous magazines. The papers shed light on trends in music education and performance, and the global expanse of Oberlin’s faculty experience.

The collection is organized into four folders. The first folder contains biographical clippings; the second, printed material related to opera publicity; the third, program notes, lyrics, and features on Oberlin faculty; and the fourth, clippings and articles on Jane Marsh. Oversize posters from this collection were separated and filed in the Poster Collection (RG 46) in 1988.
