Santa Monica Civic Opera performers singing carols in a Christmas-themed photomontage, 1955

Description:
Photomontage image, possibly intended for use as a Christmas card. The photograph features members of the Santa Monica Civic Opera dressed in Dickens-style costumes, singing from books of Christmas carols. This image has been superimposed onto a photograph of an unidentified, 2-story home with an outdoor Christmas tree. In addition, a brick wall has been added between the carolers and the property, creating a relatively seamless composite.
