Golfredo Corradetti (1921-1995) was, according to the obituary in the New York Time, " .an assistant conductor to Richard Strauss, conducted for the tenor Beniamino Gigli, composed several musicals and wrote the musical theme for the newsreel "Eyes and Ears of the World." He also worked with numerous orchestras and opera companies, including the Rome Opera House, the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the San Francisco Symphony. A native of Calgary, Alberta, he studied at Stanford University and received a music degree from the Accademia di Santa Cecilia in Rome. In the 1930's, he studied conducting with Toscanini, composition with Arnold Schoenberg and composition and conducting with Strauss. He had taught at the University of San Francisco since 1975." This scrapbook (assembled later from saved materials) consists of 26 leaves filled with original photographs, programs, flyers and newspaper clippings from two musicals he wrote and produced in the fall of 1945, plus four scripts from radio shows he apparently composed an conducted the music for at the same time. Needless to say this is a unique record of a little explored aspect of military life - musical theater! Extra Postage for all but Media. N° de ref. del artículo 2101
