Die Metropolitan Opera wurde 1883 gegründet, ihr erstes Opernhaus wurde am Broadway und in der 39th Street von einer Gruppe wohlhabender Geschäftsleute erbaut, die ein eigenes Theater wollten. In den Anfangsjahren des Unternehmens änderte das Management mehrmals den Kurs und führte zunächst alles auf Italienisch auf (sogar Carmen und Lohengrin), dann alles auf Deutsch (sogar Aida und Faust), bevor es sich schließlich darauf einließ, die meisten Werke in ihrer Originalsprache aufzuführen, mit einigen bemerkenswerten Ausnahmen. Die Metropolitan Opera hat schon immer viele der wichtigsten Künstler der Welt engagiert: Christine Nilsson, Marcella Sembrich, Lilli Lehmann, Nellie Melba, Emma Calvé, die Brüder De Reszke, Jean und Edouard, Emma Eames, Lillian Nordica, Enrico Caruso, Geraldine Farrar, Rosa Ponselle, Lawrence Tibbett und andere. Einige der großen Dirigenten haben die Met mitgeprägt: Anton Seidl, Arturo Toscanini, Gustav Mahler, Artur Bodanzky, Bruno Walter, George Szell, Fritz Reiner und Dimitri Mitropoulos.

This is an attempt to see World War 2 through the eyes of people who lived or fought on the territories controlled by the Axis powers, originally the Rome–Berlin Axis. Axis' principal members in Europe were Nazi Germany, the Kingdom of Italy, Hungary, and Spain. During World War II, Nazi Germany and Axis powers occupied or controlled a number of countries in Europe and beyond. At its zenith in 1942, the Axis presided over large parts of Europe, North Africa, and East Asia, either through occupation, annexation, or puppet states. The collection is made with an image recognition aid, so a small percentage of images may be wrongly attributed as European & 1939-1945.
