Hammerstein's Opera House, Part Three
Manage episode 356270527 series 2899444
The last installment of the saga of Oscar Hammerstein in the "Opera Wars" - and the grand Philadelphia theater he left behind, when the war was over.
We also meet the New York banker Otto Kahn - the power behind the rival Metropolitan Opera - and how that name gets transferred to the Philadelphia building.
Despite many transformations, over the years it has remained a grand temple of Music, Art and Faith on North Broad Street. We follow the musical trail from 1910 - all the way to the present day.
