Scope and content

Item consists of a scrapbook of newspaper clippings related to individuals (cast), performances, and advertisements related to productions at the Toronto Opera House (Grand Opera House, Toronto).

Scrapbook is an oversized volume produced by Hart & Riddell Stationers. The volume, originally meant to be an index of a County register, is repurposed as an index of productions put on by the Toronto Opera House throughout the beginning of the 20th century. The front index pages, alphabetized, list production titles along with a corresponding page number where news clippings related to the production have been pasted in. Clippings relate to productions, cast members of productions and advertisements of the opera house.
