Lady of Shalott
Lew Christensen's Lady of Shalott premiered May 1958, first at Hertz Hall, University of California, Berkeley and then in San Francisco three weeks later. Arthur Bliss composed the music and scenario after the poem by Alfred, Lord Tennyson with scenery/costumes by Tony Duquette. This images here are from a performance in 1961 with Jocelyn Vollmar (who originated the role) dancing the title character with Roderick Drew.
