This is the second part of the tribute to Salvador Novoa. He was a vibrant member of the New York City Opera family. The previous post, BOMARZO, was from 1969. The rest are in chronological order. This is CARMEN, March 1967. All are NYC Opera at the State Theater. He is Don Jose.
GIANNI SCHICHI, Mar. 8, 1967 as Rinuccio. Beverly Sills as Lauretta. This was the only time she did the three TRITTICO operas.
TOSCA Oct. 1967 as Cavaradossi. Ed Pierson is Angelotti, posed shot as this was a closed set, no viewing from wings.
NYC Opera presented a ZARZUELLA at City Center, June 1969. I don't remember the story at all. I remember the soloists, but not their characters. I do remember roaches in the basement.
Salvador is with Nino Garcia. Only color I have of Salvador.
LUCIA Nov. 1969 as Edgardo. Beverly Sills in title role
MEFISTOFELE, March 1971, old Faust, young Faust, with Gilda Cruz Romo as Marguerite.
with the late great demonic Norman Treigle in the title role
DON RODRIGO, April 14, 1971 in title role.
It was always a pleasure having Salvador in my lens. The audience was happy too.
To friends and family my heartfelt condolences.
Salvador, Thank you. RIP
