AUSTRALIAN EPHEMERA COLLECTION FINDING AID
DAME CLARA BUTT (1872 – 1936)
PERFORMING ARTS PROGRAMS AND EPHEMERA (PROMPT)
PRINTED AUSTRALIANA
JANUARY 2015
This finding aid lists programs and ephemera which document all aspects of Clara Butt’s career in Australia and overseas. Clara Butt was an English contralto who was celebrated for her sturdy and broad lower range. She achieved musical success in Britain quickly after completing her academic studies. She went on to lead a charmed life, eventually marrying and touring with the prominent baritone Kennerley Rumford, and was sometimes called Clara Butt-Rumford after her marriage. Her fame was founded upon her remarkably imposing voice and a surprisingly agile singing technique and in her appearances on the concert stage as well as at festivals, and she toured Australia regularly. Her main career was as a recitalist and concert singer. See also Digitised Australian newspaper coverage of Clara Butt.
Printed materials in the PROMPT collection include programs and printed ephemera such as brochures, leaflets, tickets, etc. Theatre programs are taken as the prime documentary evidence of a performance. The list is based on imperfect holdings, and is updated as gaps in the Library’s holdings are filled. Unless otherwise stated, all entries are based on published programs in the PROMPT collection.
