2:30 NBC Opera: Moussorgsky's "Boris Godunov" (COLOR)

Actually, NBC carried periodic operas on Sunday afternoons in the 1950's and 1960's.

I wonder if Texaco was the sponsor, given that they sponsored live radio broadcasts of the Metropolitan Opera from the early 1940's until their merger with Chevron (and maybe for a time after that).

Besides, but my memory is hazy about this (given I was a tyke at the time), I thought my parents watched an NBC Opera telecast when I was a little boy and seem to recall a commercial featuring man in a tuxedo (Milton Cross??) standing next to a Texaco gas pump.

If my memory is correct, then Texaco did sponsor "NBC Opera" in the early 1960's.
