The information inside the invitation is quite important. It says that the General Manager of the German Opera House Concert Singers, Wilhelm Rode, would be honored by your presence at the performance of Richard Wagner’s “Flying Dutchman” at 8 pm on Sunday 7 March 1937. |

| The invited guest, Mr. Dr. Rathke and his wife, must have been VIPs as they had the best seats in the house - number 13 and 15, in the center of the left side in the FRONT ROW.
Very unusual Nazi operatic material in excellent condition and GUARANTEED to be absolutely authentic unaltered Third Reich material.
