Opera Festival Legacy Prompts Southern Grand Season Debut
The 1913 Opera season marked the fifth anniversary of the Atlanta Music Festival Association. Beginning in 1901 to celebrate the opening of the Victorivm Armory, it developed into a major regional enterprise attracting stars from the Metropolitan Opera. The 1913 program featured Tosca, Lohengrin, Hansel and Gretel, and Met stars, drawing a record crowd of about 8,090 at the Armory. The festival redirected profits to Atlanta music clubs and solidified southern support for grand opera, with subsequent seasons undergirding the Metropolitan Company’s southern expansion.
