-
Opera Cameos was a TV series which aired on the DuMont Television Network from November 8, 1953, to January 9, 1955, when DuMont was dropping most of their TV series due to financial troubles caused by Paramount Pictures and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). DuMont often broadcast niche programming as counter-programming to the more lavish shows on the other networks. The program was hosted by opera singer Giovanni Martinelli.
