Part of Papers of Sir Cecil Beaton
Typescript letter; owing to the cancellation of the 1961/62 Metropolitan Opera season - due to ongoing disputes with the Musicians Union - the administration no longer requires Beaton's services as a set and costume designer for the production of "Adriana Lecouvreur", and therefore proposes to annul the contract he has made with them. This is because they cannot be sure when or even if a settlement can and will be reached, and certainly not in the short-term.
Krawitz, Herman Everett (b 1925) television producer
