It displayed large photos of the Khedive and Verdi, who composed the music for the opera Aida in honor of the Khedival Opera House inauguration at the time. The gallery also featured a section dedicated to the history of the Opera House’s opening under the reign of Khedive Ismail in the mid to late 18th Century. “Ola Seif, Reference Specialist and Curator at the Rare Books and Special Collections Library, and I tried to essentially do two things: collect material we already have and try to follow some leads in approaching archives and people,” Pinfari said. He said it took one month to prepare the exhibition. The exhibition’s glass galleries had brochures of different librettos by Verdi and other famous composers, many of them from Pinfari’s collections in Italy. The glass gallery contained cut-out articles from the local press at the time, largely focusing on Erian mastery as a soprano despite the challenges of being a non- Italian speaker.įinding and collecting these newspapers and photographs was not an easy task, said Associate Dean of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences Marco Pinfari. The center wall of the exhibition was fully dedicated to the 1964 performance from black and white to color, the wall was filled with old photos of the performance, the actors and the audience.
