Lionel Mapleson recorded dozens , maybe hundreds , of performances two minutes at a time at the Metropolitan Opera in New York .
He recorded Nellie Melba in an opera entitled Le Cid in the prompter’s box, a booth in front of the stage where someone sat to remind actors of their lines when they blanked.
He nested on a catwalk maybe 40 feet above the stage and the orchestra.
When Mapleson died of a heart attack on Dec. 21, 1937 , no one quite knew what to do with the recordings.
He had a library of maybe 140 of these fragile cylinder recordings.
The recordings have since been issued and reissued many times, including on CD.
American sound recording copyright laws weren’t settled until 1972 .
