The Opera; A Sketch of the Development of Opera: With Full Descriptions of All Works in the Modern Repertory (Classic Reprint) - Brossura
Sinossi
Excerpt from The Opera; A Sketch of the Development of Opera: With Full Descriptions of All Works in the Modern Repertory
In that time we have seen the tables turned, and now there is no more certain way for a manager to secure a full house than by announcing one of these very works. An even shorter period covers the latest Italian renaissance of music, the feverish excitement into which the public was thrown by one of its most blatant productions, and the collapse of a set of composers who were at one time hailed as regenerators of their country's art.
