Scope and content
Correspondence concerning the confirmation of Beaton's commitment to the production of 'La Traviata'. Bing writes that he of course wants Beaton to do the set and costumes for 'La Traviata' and that his doing it at Covent Garden would not in the least way interfere with Bing inviting him to do so. Beaton replies that he does not know if the Covent Garden production will go ahead, but that he should let Lasker know in any case. Beaton adds that he is interested to hear that they are going to stage 'Adrienne Le Couvreur', but also rather disappointed by the news that, having worked so carefully on the designs, they are going to use a readymade production.
