The name on this negative, Galli-Curci, most likely refers to Amelita Galli-Curci, the Italian coloratura soprano who became one of the most celebrated singers of the 1920s after her Metropolitan Opera debut in 1921. The Bain News Service, a New York picture agency, supplied press photographs to newspapers, and its glass negatives document the theater, music and public figures of that era. The title comes from the agency's own unverified notes, so the identification should be read as the caption's claim rather than a confirmed fact. The picture's undated record means its exact occasion is unknown, but it reflects the strong public interest in opera stars during the period.
