La Traviata

Includes correspondence relating to Beaton's work on 'La Traviata' ["The Fallen Woman"], an opera by Giuseppe Verdi, first performed on March 6, 1853, at the La Fenice opera house in Venice. The producer for the 1966 Metropolitan Opera House production - for which Beaton designed the costumes - was Alfred Lunt.

Kenneth Wagg. Autograph letter signed to Beaton, from New York.

Has met Beaton very seldom during the last 20 years, but having known both his sisters since they came out he feels entitled to approach him directly. Discusses a play of which he has bought half, and which should succeed provided they "give it the best treatment". Would like Beaton to design the sets and costumes.

Wagg, Kenneth (fl 1950-1960)
