Note: Due to an oversight on the part of your scatterbrained editrix, yesterday’s installment of this series for some subtle technologial reason failed to be published. Apparently one is supposed to click on the “publish” button at some point in process, which is hardly intuitive, is it? Anyway, with apologies to our dear W. C., here are the November 24 honorees:

Born on this day in 1824 librettist Antonio Ghislanzoni

Born on this day in 1895 soprano Adelaide Saraceni

Born on this day in 1896 composer Virgil Thomson

Born on this day in 1901 soprano Adele Kern

Happy 75th birthday conductor Jean-Claude Malgoire

Happy 70th birthday baritone Hakan Hagegard

Happy 65th birthday soprano Yvonne Kenny
