Opening Souvenir Program page 17: Signor Ezio Kost (born in Rome 1880) introduced grand opera to the Regent opening with an orchestra of 30 ‘Continental’ musicians. After four months Kost quit as conductor, and ballet segments were dropped in favor of more popular musical elements. Kost spent most of his subsequent musical career in Melbourne, where he died in 1955.
