This performance ofTosca marked the end of Anthony Terracciano’s career. He had begun with thePhiladelphia La Scala Company and would later found the Civic Grand Opera Company in 1948. The La Scalaand Civic Grand companies merged in 1955 to form the Philadelphia Grand Opera Company with Terracciano asgeneral manager. During the spring of 1962, announcements had been made that a new opera company wouldpresent itself in the Fall when the Lyric and Grand companies merged, but during the summer plans changed andboth companies resummed.
