Gian Carlo Menotti's The Consul, an opera we now need to hear more than ever, was first performed in Philadeiphia #OTD in 1960.

Patricia Neway, who created the role of Magda, sings To This We've Come, in an American TV production from 1960. It is one of the greatest performances of anything you will ever see.
