#Lucien Muratore

[opera-ghosts]

The exquisite French tenor Lucien Muratore (1878-1954). 

Lucien Muratore (1876-1954) was a French dramatic tenor whose impressive career spanned some three decades. Born in Marseille, Muratore began studies there as a saxophone and oboe player before switching his focus to voice several months later. Initially pursuing a career as a dramatic actor, the young performer made his debut at the Variétés in Paris at the age of 20. Muratore spent several seasons there, as well as at the Casino in Monte Carlo and the Odéon Theatre in Paris, playing juvenile leads. During this period, he enrolled at the Paris Conservatory, where he continued his vocal studies. Muratore’s operatic debut took place at the Opéra-Comique on December 16, 1902 when he created the role of King Louis XIV in the world premiere of Renaldo Hahn’s La Carmélite. Although Hahn’s new opera was a failure, Muratore’s memorable performance helped launch him to an international career. In 1904, Muratore made his first appearance outside of his homeland, when he sang Werther at La Monnaie in Brussels. During the next decade, the tenor spent most of his time in the major theaters of the French speaking world, building his reputation as an artist of the first rank. Not only was Muratore quite skilled in his interpretations of the leads in such standard repertoire as Faust, Roméo et Juliette, Manon, Carmen, Mignon, Pagliacci, Cavalleria Rusticana and Die Meistersinger, he also sang numerous world premieres of such works as Février’s Monna Vanna, Fauré’s Pénélope, Saint-Saëns’ Déjanire and Massenet’s operas Bacchus, Roma and Ariane. In 1913, Muratore came to the U.S. for much heralded appearances in Boston, Chicago and New York. A North American tour followed, the vehicle for which was Bizet’s Carmen. Performances in Fort Worth, Milwaukee, Omaha, Kansas City, St. Louis, Tulsa and other major cities kept the tenor quite busy, but it was Chicago that would remain his artistic home from 1913 to 1922. 1919 saw the tenor in South America for performances with the Teatro Solis in Montevideo and the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires. A series of concert appearances with his wife, soprano Lina Cavalieri, were also well received. However, the strain of professional life took its toll and Muratore and Cavalieri separated in 1919. By the early 1920s, Muratore was back in Paris where he remained until his retirement from the stage in 1932. The tenor also made his mark on the big screen, with a starring role in 1931’s “Le Chanteur Inconnu”. Interestingly, Muratore had made previous film appearances during the silent era, including the role of des Grieux in 1914’s Manon Lescaut (opposite Cavalieri in the title role). Although he continued to appear in films well into the 1930s, Muratore primarily focused on teaching. He was briefly the director of the Opéra-Comique in 1944 but was relieved of his duties following the liberation of Paris. Muratore passed away in Paris on July 16, 1954, a few weeks shy of his 78th birthday. Lucien Muratore was the possessor of a sturdy spinto-dramatic tenor instrument which he used to great effect in over 30 diverse roles. He was also one of the finest operatic actors of his generation. His recordings, made for G&T, Odeon, Pathé, Zonophone, Edison, A.G.P.A. and other labels, show a singing actor who used his voice to great effect.

Moriva a Fiesole, uccisa durante i bombardamenti, il soprano e attrice cinematografica LINA CAVALIERI

Offrendo ancora bambina ai passanti le violette per un baiocco e un sorriso gratis. Spesso "passa ponte" e, di nascosto dei genitori, a 13 anni, già donna e con i riccioli neri fluenti, s' intrufola al Baraccone delle Meravigliea piazza Pepe, rifacendo il verso alla sciantosa. Così la scopre un maestro di canto, che convince i genitori a farle educare la voce. Basta poco e debutta in abitino di cretonne alla Torre di Belisario a Porta Pinciana; solo un piattino passando tra il pubblicoa fine spettacolo per la "chetta", la questua. Ma è brava e bella, e allora la invitano al Grande Orfeo,e da lì al Salone Margherita. Niente più piattino, ma un contratto e un boa di struzzo. E diventa la diva del pubblico borghese del caféchantant di Roma, esaltata pure da Trilussa: «Fior d' orchidea,/ il bacio dato sulla bocca tua/ lo paragono al bacio d' una dea». Che la qualifica un personaggio di Roma. Ma eccola richiesta a Napoli e Milano; la sua bellezza e il suo modo di cantare seducente nel giro di dieci anni la portano a Parigi per le Folies-Bergères, a Londra per l' Empire, a Vienna per l' English Garden. Arriva a competere con la Bella Otero, ma finisce per essere lei la più bella del mondo, secondo la qualifica che le assegna D' Annunzio nel 1899 nella dedica di una copia del Piacere, definendola «massima testimonianza di Venere in Terra». Ormai ha migliorato tanto la sua voce da trasformarsi in cantate lirica, debuttando nel 1900 nella Bohème al San Carlo di Napoli. Sulla scena è splendido vederla più che udirla, fra portamento sensuale e sontuose acconciature. Famoso per audacia resta il bacio a Enrico Caruso sul palcoscenico del Metropolitan Opera di New York, al termine del duetto della Fedora. Da allora Lina negli Stati Uniti è "The kissing primadonna". E si diverte a sposarsi. Quattro matrimoni per quattro divorzi. Nel 1899 con il principe russo Aleksandr Bariatinsky; nel 1908 per soli 8 giorni con il milionario americano Robert Winthrop Chanler; nel 1913 con il tenore francese Lucien Muratore; nel 1927 con il pilota automobilistico Giuseppe Campari. E tanti altri amori, dall' industriale Davide Campari che la segue in tournée per pubblicizzare il suo aperitivo, al re del Kazan che la sposerebbe se abbandonasse le scene, ai cantanti Mattia Battistini e Tito Schipa, a Guglielmo Marconi. Fino al suo impresario Arnaldo Pavoni, con il quale passa gli ultimi anni tra la villa della Cappuccina a Rieti e quella di Fiesole. Il 7 Febbraio 1944, durante un attacco aereo su Firenze, una bomba distrugge la villa, seppellendola sotto le macerie con Pavoni e la cameriera. Gina Lollobrigida la rievocherà nel film "La donna più bella del mondo" del 1955. Era nata a Viterbo il 24 dicembre 1875.

Lina Cavalieri (1874-1944).

Italian opera singer and actress.

At a young age, she made her way to Paris, where her appearance opened doors and she obtained work as a singer at one of the city's café-concerts. From there she performed at a variety of music halls and other such venues around Europe, and made her opera debut in Lisbon, Portugal, in 1900.

.

She became one of the most photographed stars of her time. Frequently referred to as the "world's most beautiful woman".

In 1914, she wrote an advice column on make-up for women in Femina magazine and published a book, My Secrets of Beauty. In her Parisian Institut de Beauté, she licensed Parfums Isabey Paris and developed in 1926 a range of beauty products. The same year, she launched her own perfume, called "Mona Lina".

.

Almost all of her films are considered lost films.

.

She's been married 4 times : Prince Alexandre Bariatinsky (1899) ; Robert Winthrop Chanler (1910) ; Lucien Muratore (1913) ; Paolo d’Arvanni (19??).

She returned to live in Italy, well into her sixties when World War II began, she nevertheless worked as a volunteer nurse (Axis powers). Cavalieri was killed during an Allied bombing raid that destroyed her home in Florence, while collecting her most precious jewellery.

Dr. Lloyd's Sanitarium - 6-8 St. Nicholas Place

In 1884 John Fink commissioned architect Richard S. Rosenstock to design a commodious suburban home in the area that would later be dubbed Sugar Hill.  The principal in the pork packing firm of John Fink & Son, his new residence would reflect his significant personal wealth. Rosenstock designed a three-story, freestanding residence in the trendy Queen Anne Style.  Although his plans called for a "brown stone front dwelling," only the basement and first floor were faced in rough cut stone.  The second floor was clad in brick and the top floor in wood.  True to the Queen Anne style, the house featured a riot of angles, shapes, and colors.  Dormers poked through the fanciful jerkinhead gables, and a corner tower clung to the two upper floors.  A profusion of stained glass and scattered carvings delighted the eye.  The cost of construction would be equal to about $924,000 today.

Carved portrait keystones and stained glass transoms survive at the northern corner.

Located at No. 8 St. Nicholas Place, on the northeast corner of 150th Street, Fink's stylish home and its bucolic hilltop location may have been a deciding factor in James A. Bailey's decision to built his imposing mansion on across the street, at No. 10.  The Real Estate Record & Builders' Guide, on January 16, 1896, commented "One of handsomest residences on this avenue is that of John W. Fink, son of Commissioner Fink of railroad fame.  It is situated o the northeast corner of One Hundred and Fiftieth street, and is a three-story ornate stone front building, having all the modern improvements."

The original entrance porch with its sideways stoop is evident in this early photo, as is the wonderful turret.  Directly behind is the James A. Bailey house.  from the collection of the Museum of the City of New York 

An avid boater, Fink was active among the wealthy sportsmen of northern Manhattan.  On May 29, 1888, for instance, The Evening World commented, "John W. Fink, of the Friendship Boat Club, is said to be the probable winner of the junior singles of the Harlem River regatta."

The construction date is worked into the elaborate carving on the first floor chimney back.

A delightful detail is Stein's continuing the gable level over the chambered rear corner.

That same year Fink sold the house, along with the vacant property extending east to Edgecomb Avenue, to real estate operator Charles E. Runk and his wife, Aurelia.  Runk was also the treasurer of the Washington Heights Taxpayers' Association, and a partner in the Oneota Fertilizer and Chemical Co. The Runks' ownership would be short-lived.  On March 9, 1891 they sold No. 8 to Sigmund Bergmann for $31,750, just over $900,000 today.  Bergmann was a partner with Edward H. Johnson and Thomas Alva Edison in the Bergmann Electric & Gas Fixture Co.

Sigmund Bergmann was a partner with inventor Thomas A. Edison.  Electrical Review and Western Electrician, December 21, 1912 (copyright expired)

Bergmann had left his native Germany in 1870 at the age of 21, already trained as an engineer.  The Electrical Review and Western Electrician later explained "He was associated with Edison for several years and being imbued with the idea that he should turn his talents in a direction that would insure to him the greatest possible personal reward he established a business of his own."  That move did not injure his friendship with Edison nor their businesses connections.  His lifelong friend, Francis Jehl, later said "many of Edison's experiments were made in the Bergmann shop, while the phonograph was to a great extent developed with Bergmann's assistance." In 1893 Charles Runk sold the undeveloped eastern plot and at the same time removed the restrictive covenants John Fink had originally built into the deeds.  It was a move that would have serious impact on No. 8 a few decades later. Simultaneously Jacob P. Baiter and his wife, Kate, began construction on their upscale residence next door at No. 6.  Their architect, Theodore G. Stein, file plans on May 26 for a 25-foot wide, four story brick dwelling to cost $35,000 (or about $1 million today).  Completed the following year, it could not have been more different than its neighbor.

Stein had turned to the more formal Renaissance Revival style with undeniable Romanesque Revival influences.  He embellished the beige brick with terra cotta decorations and included a rounded bay at the second floor.  The top floor took the form of a steep mansard, its gabled dormer ornamented with an intricate panel of tangled bows, wreaths and swags. Jacob Baiter was the East Coast manager of the Fleischmann Yeast Company, and so it is most likely not a coincidence that Max Fleischmann would soon live almost directly across the street at No. 400 West 149th Street.  Yeast was an important part in the making of alcohol, and both men were involved, as well, in the Ridgewood Distillery, the Eastern Distilling Co., and the Somerset Distilling Co.

Originally a high sideways stoop led to the doorway.

Jacob and Kate had two sons, Charles William Grevell and Louis J. Baiter.  Kate Baiter died in the house on October 26, 1898.  Her funeral was held here three days later. Jacob's grief was rather short lived.  The following year he married and transferred title to No. 6 to his new wife, Carrie.  The Evening Post Record of Real Estate Sales listed the transaction as "gift." In 1909, the same year that Charles Baiter was married, Dr. Henry William Lloyd purchased No. 8.  Charles Runk's removal of the deed restrictions allowed Lloyd to convert the house to The Audubon Sanitarium.  Having a private hospital next door may have been too much for the Baiters, and in October 1911 they sold their home to Dr. Lloyd for $75,000.  The Sun reported that he "will use it for his own occupancy." And, indeed, he did--for a few months.  In 1912 he joined the two structures with a somewhat ungainly addition.  A new entrance was established within the new portion.

Things inside the upscale sanitarium did not always go smoothly, sometimes resulting in unwanted publicity.  On March 18, 1912, for instance, The Sun reported on the investigation by Coroner Holzhauser and the police into "the death of Miss Alice Anderson in the sanitarium of Dr. Henry W. Lloyd at 8 St. Nicholas place early yesterday morning." The article carefully tip-toed around the fact that Alice, who was 30-years-old, had come for an abortion.  According to Dr. Lloyd, she had already received a botched procedure and that he told her "that she probably would not survive the second operation."  So certain was he that his patient would die, before starting the procedure he sent for a priest to hear her confession.  Before she died she "told her three sisters who was responsible for her condition," said The Sun. Five months later a journalist from The Sun was back, this time at the request of Mrs. Sarah Harris.  The 34-year-old, referred to as "the sufferer" by the newspaper, had been stricken with a "strange malady" three years earlier which paralyzed her from the neck down.  Able to move only her head, she had lain in the same position the entire time. On August 31, 1912 the newspaper entitled its article "Woman Paralytic Begs State To End Her Life."  In it Sarah pleaded "We have our Societies for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, which put out of their agony injured and sick animals, but human beings for whom medicine can do nothing are kept on in their torture.  Why should this be?" Mrs. Harris did not get her wish and in 1915, when Dr. Lloyd hired architect George H. Hardway to enlarge the sanitarium, she was still a patient.  The addition housed a "new maternity hospital," as described by The New York Times.

Close inspection reveals a winged, terra cotta rampant lion atop the gable.  The stylized sunflower on the metal facing below is a familiar Queen Anne motif.

Dr. Lloyd's Audubon Sanitarium saw celebrated figures come and go.  In 1917 the wife of preacher Billy Sunday received an emergency appendectomy.  The operation removed a "strangulated tumor" as well.  On May 20 The New York Times noted "Though deeply distressed by his wife's illness, Billy Sunday preached last night to 22,000 persons." The same operation was performed on Lucien Muratore, principal tenor of the Chicago Opera Company in February 1922.  Newspapers carried updates on his condition for days. Dr. Henry W. Lloyd sold the properties in January 1925 to the Louis H. Low Syndicate.  There were 100 rooms in the complex at the time.  The new owners, according to The Times on January 24, had already leased it to the newly-formed Lloyd's Sanitarium, Inc. (headed by Dr. Victor Low) "who will continue the operation of same after extensive alterations and improvements."  Architect Henry F. Schlumbohn, Jr. was called upon to update the hospital and dispensary. By 1935 the name had been changed to The Community Hospital.  The admission fee was 35 cents and a "revisit fee" was a quarter. The clinic was gone by mid-century, when the mish-mash of buildings was operated as a 53-room hotel.  As the neighborhood declined, so did the the property and by 1983 it was run by the city's welfare program as the Dawn Hotel, "housing formerly homeless families," according to The New York Times on August 25 that year.

The Dawn Hotel sat within what had become a gritty neighborhood.  Late on the night of December 6 a man entered the lobby and got into an argument with the clerk.  At around 1:00 on the morning he returned, armed with a pistol  and, according to police, "shot the clerk in the chest and fled from the hotel."  

As the Sugar Hill neighborhood improved in the 21st century, the Dawn Hotel did not.  A New York Senate report in January 2017 on the State's "unclean, unsafe, dangerous temporary shelter system" awarded the Dawn Hotel the uncomplimentary title of No. 1 in the top ten hotel violators in the state.  The facility was closed by 2018.

The once handsome houses have been sorely abused throughout their various connected uses.  And yet glimpses of their former splendor still manage to seep through. photographs by the author

On this beautiful Postcard from 1902 we see the French Tenor Lucien Muratore (1878-1954). He was one of the best Tenorvoices at his time and married with the famous Operastar Lina Cavalieri (1874-1944). Take a closer look on his life.

Italian operatic soprano Lina Cavalieri (December, 25, 1874-February 7, 1944),  known for her great beauty. Born Natalina Cavalieri in Viterbo, Latium, Italy, she lost her parents at the age of fifteen and became a ward of the state, sent to live in a Roman Catholic orphanage. The vivacious young girl was extremely unhappy under the strict raising of the nuns, and at the first opportunity she ran away with a touring theatrical group. Blessed with a good singing voice, a young Cavalieri made her way to Paris, France, where her stunning good looks opened doors and she obtained work as a singer at one of the city's café-concerts. From there she performed at a variety of music halls and other such venues around Europe while still working to develop her voice for the opera. A soprano, Cavalieri took voice lessons and made her opera debut in Lisbon, Portugal, in 1900, the same year she married her first husband, the Russian Prince Bariatinsky. Eventually she followed in the footsteps of Hariclea Darclée as one of the first stars of Puccini's Tosca. In 1904 she sang at the Opéra de Monte-Carlo then in 1905, at the Sarah Bernhardt Theatre in Paris, Cavalieri starred opposite Enrico Caruso in the Umberto Giordano opera, Fedora. From there, she and Caruso took the show to New York City, debuting with it at the Metropolitan Opera on December 5, 1906. Cavalieri remained with the Metropolitan Opera for the next two seasons performing again with Caruso in 1907 in Puccini's Manon Lescaut. Renowned as much for her great beauty as for her singing voice, she became one of the most photographed stars of her time. Frequently referred to as the "world's most beautiful woman," she was part of the tightlacing tradition that saw women use corsetry to create an "hour-glass" figure. During the 1909-1910 season she sang with Oscar Hammerstein's Manhattan Opera Company. Her first marriage long over, she had a whirlwind romance and marriage with Robert Winthrop Chanler (1872-1930), a member of New York's prominent Astor family. However, this marriage lasted only a very short time (1) and Cavalieri returned to Europe where she became a much-loved star in pre-Revolutionary St. Petersburg, Russia, and in the Ukraine. During her career, Cavalieri sang with other opera greats such as the Italian baritone Titta Ruffo and the French tenor Lucien Muratore, whom she married in 1913. After retiring from the stage, Cavalieri ran a cosmetic salon in Paris. In 1914, on the eve of her fortieth birthday — her beauty still spectacular — she wrote an advice column on make-up for women in Femina magazine and published a book, My Secrets of Beauty. In 1915, she returned to her native Italy to make motion pictures. When that country became involved in World War I, she went to the United States where she made four more silent films. The last three of her films were the product of her friend, the Belgian film director Edward José. Married for the fourth time to Paolo dArvanni, Cavalieri returned to live with her husband in Italy. Well into her sixties when World War II broke out, she nevertheless worked as a volunteer nurse. Cavalieri was killed in 1944 during an Allied bombing raid that destroyed her home in the outskirts of Florence. La Cavalieri's discography is slim. In 1910, for Columbia, she recorded arias from Faust, Carmen, Mefistofele, La bohème, Manon Lescaut and Tosca, as well as the song, "Maria, Marì! (Ah! Marì! Ah! Marì!)." In 1917, for Pathé, the soprano recorded "Le rêve passé," with Muratore. She was painted by the Italian artist Giovanni Boldini (acquired by Maurice Rothschild) and by the Swiss-born American artist Adolfo Müller-Ury (1862-1947). The latter is now the property of the Metropolitan Opera House in New York, the gift of Nicholas Meredith Turner in memory of his wife the soprano Jessica Dragonette. Hers is the face that appears repeatedly, obsessively in Piero Fornasetti's designs. In 1955, Italian actress Gina Lollobrigida portrayed Cavalieri in the film The World's Most Beautiful Woman. In 2004, a book was published authored by Paul Fryer and Olga Usova titled  'Lina Cavalieri -The Life of Operas Greatest Beauty, 1874-1944'.
