Title: Typed Letter, signed, regarding the San Francisco Opera Author: Rubinstein, Arthur Place: New York Publisher: Date: March 23, 1966 Description: Typed letter signed, on letterhead of The Drake Hotel, New York. Approximately 9½x7¼", framed. The famed pianist writes to Dr. N. Allen Norman of San Leandro, California: "Dear Doctor Norman, I am shocked, having read the copy of your letter to Mr. Wilson Meyer. I am glad that you did it, because I found out by myself that the San Francisco Opera's back stage is dominated by an abominable Cerberus everybody seems to be afraid of. I had received several letters before my performance, begging me to interfere in their favor with this attendent, to let them through to the artists' room. I will make a point next year to either get rid of him or make him change his manner - "or else!" Sincerely, Arthur Rubinstein." Lot Amendments Condition: Appears fine, not examined out of frame. Item number: 237723
