Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the captivating world of 19th-century European opera, specifically focusing on Her Majesty's Theatre in London from 1836 to 1858. The author, intimately involved in the theatre's management during this period, offers a firsthand account of the challenges and triu…mphs faced in the operatic realm. The narrative unveils the complexities of managing a major opera house in England, where, unlike continental counterparts, government subsidies were absent, placing the entire financial burden on individual or collective private ventures. The author sheds light on the intricate legal entanglements surrounding the theatre's ownership, a tangled web of disputes and lawsuits that cast a shadow over its operations. Central to the book is the exploration of the power dynamics between the management and the renowned artists of the time. The author vividly portrays the rise of a powerful clique of singers, known as "La Vieille Garde," and their attempts to exert control over the theatre's artistic direction. The book details the strategies employed by these influential figures, their alliances with prominent members of society, and the resulting conflicts that impacted the theatre's stability and artistic choices. This insightful account offers a glimpse into a bygone era of opera, marked by both grandeur and turbulence. It reveals the delicate balance between artistic aspirations, financial realities, and the intricate web of relationships that shaped the operatic landscape of 19th-century London. The book's insights into the challenges and triumphs of opera management during this period provide a valuable understanding of the forces that have shaped this art form over time. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
