Two programs: Il Recrutio, A Comic Opera, as originally produced by the members of the Forty-Fourth Regiment at Newbern, N.C., 15 pages, 6 x 9; and Il Recrutio, An Original Opera Produced by a Troupe of the Massachusetts 44th Regiment, in barracks, at Newbern, N.C., 8 pages, 5 x 7.75. In very good condition, with light toning, a light spot of soiling to the bottom edge, and the expected wear from handling to the first program; and two horizontal folds, scattered light creasing, a triangular area of paper loss to the right edge, and a separation along the spine of the second program. The 44th Massachusetts Regiment was a nine month regiment. They staged this opera in North Carolina in March of 1863, selling copies of the libretto to benefit the regiment’s charity fund.
