[Pagliacci received one performance this season.]
Fausto Cleva fell ill after the first two selections and was replaced for the remainder of the program by Kurt Adler.
As originally planned, Chabrier's tone poem "Espaņa" was to have been played between the Forza and Cavalleria
excerpts on this concert (entitled "A Mediterranean Evening"), but the work was omitted because Maestro Adler
had not rehearsed it with the orchestra
