Souvenir Books - Grand Ballet du Marquis de Cuevas, 1951
Scope and Content of the Collection
Reviews and clippings from Covello's career as a critic and opera and dance-related ephemera collected by him.
The earliest reviews, from 1966 to 1994, were collected in a large scrapbook, and also include some letters to the editor, and WNIB radio announcements, where Covello was active as an announcer and manager for many years. Subsequent reviews, mostly from Opera Canada magazine, were compiled into a 3-ring binder (disbound for conservation of the clippings). Other material includes a full set of New York City Ballet season brochures and Ballet Russe dance souvenir program books. Covello traveled out of the United States to attend concerts and festivals, and kept all the programs of what he attended along the way.
