This collection contains operettas for children ranging from primary grades into high school. The current collection’s dates range from 1912 through 1993, with the bulk of the materials ranging from 1924 through 1958. The operetta subjects explore a wide range of themes, including holidays, patriotism, history, music education, folk tales, and fairy tales, among others. The collection was begun using materials from the Rose Marie Grentzer collection; the collection will include new additions as more materials that fit the scope of the collection are received.
The collection is open for research use. Materials from this collection must be used in the Michelle Smith Performing Arts Library's Irving and Margery Morgan Lowens Special Collections Room during SCPA’s operating hours. Please contact the curator for an inventory, to book an appointment to see the materials in person, or if you have questions related to digital access of the materials.
