Beniamino Riccio, Baritone Management: New York Civic Grand Opera Club, Inc. Direction: Julian Morton According to the review in the New York Times, the start of this recital was delayed by "nearly half an hour during which the hall remained closed and the puzzled audience filled the lobby and overflowed into the street. [...] It is understood that the delay was caused by difficulties of a financial nature due, in part, to the recent banking situation." ("Audience Waits Long for Riccio's Recital." New York Times 21 Mar. 1933: 13. Print.) solo recital 1933-03-20T20:45:00
