A duplication of this TV Audio Air Check has been donated to The Paley Center for Media by Phil Gries, founder and owner of Archival Television Audio, Inc.
NOTE:
The ONLY Irving Berlin related production (film or television) that is not archived. Not found in the Ethel Merman estate, as well.
NOTE:
To date no original video tape or kinescope exists representing this Special NBC TV broadcast with the original cast from the Lincoln Center Stage revival which opened for a limited engagement of 47 performances on May 31, 1966 and then moving to the Broadway Theater on September 21, 1966 for another 77 performances. An LP was released on July 1, 1966 with just the musical numbers.
Jane Klain at the Paley Center for Media has devoted much time over the years to finding the tape. She did find the box that once housed it but the title was ERASED out suggesting the tape had been erased and reused.
From published reports, the telecast wasn't successful, cutting the show to 90 minutes and performing without an audience robbed it of its vitality...debated by critics and the public to the contrary.

She states that when the show moved to Broadway, New York, director Willard Mack, who died at the age of 61 in 1934, suggested she change her name to Barbara Stanwick. She expands on the circumstances.

This musical series ran semi regularly for almost ten seasons-sometimes weekly, sometimes biweekly, and sometimes as irregularly scheduled specials. All types of music were presented on the hour series; Donald Voorhees conducted the Bell Telephone Orchestra.
"The Sights And Sounds Of New Orleans" was a SPEICAL broadcast, the thirteenth program exploring the world of fine music.
The sights of New Orleans are a blend of European and American; the sounds of New Orleans are the sounds of music.
We tour the Crescent City, combining views of its landmarks with visits to the places where its music-classical, operatic and Jazz is created.
We are introduced to jazzmen Pete Fountain and Al Hirt as well as some talent that's not so well-known: the Young Tuxedo Brass Band is heard heading a traditional jazz funeral march with "Lead Me, Savior"; the Hard Hats, construction workers play jazz during their lunch hour; and DeDe Pierce sings the Creole song "Eh, La Bas" at Preservation Hall.
New Orleans also has a new symphony orchestra, and its opera company, founded in 1809, is the oldest in North America. Werner Torkanowsky is heard conducting the orchestra in excerpts from Prokofiev's "Romeo and Juliet," and Met soprano Gianna d'Angelo rehearses and performs in the title role of Donizetti's "Lucia di Lammermoor."
Michael Tolan narrates.
NOTE: This broadcasts was presented without commercial interruptions. The sound is pristine.
