The Piano/Vocal Score for Kalmanoff's 1962 production The Bald Prima Donna (a.k.a. The Bald Soprano) is now available as custom print. Ionesco's play is a prime example of what critic Martin Esslin termed in 1962 "Theater of the Absurd," and holds the distinction of having been staged continuously at the same theater for the longest time on record. Kalmanoff's opera setting was perfect for the Center for Contemporary Opera's celebration of the 50th anniversary of the play.
