Seller's Description:
Very good in very good dust jacket. Very good condition, slight amount of shelfwear, pages clean inside with no markings. Inscription from previous owner on first page. Sewn binding. Cloth over boards. 316 p. Contains: Illustrations. Audience: General/trade. This study traces the history of the Crow Street Theatre in Dublin under the management of Frederick Jones. Drawing upon reports in newspapers and journals of the time, Dr Walsh chronicles two decades of theatrical and operatic life in Dublin. This was a period which saw the decline of the English Ballade opera and pasticcio, and the rise of Italian opera and "bel canto". Such famous singers of the time as Anglica Catalani, John Braham, Giuseppe Naldi, Giuseppe Ambrogetti, Michael Kelly, Teresa Bertinotti Radicati and Catherine Stephensare the subject of many descriptions and anecdotes. Technical advances in the theatre, from the "few hundred gallons of spermaceti oil" required in 1800 to the installation of gas in 1819, form an important part of the story. The reader interested in the social history of Dublin at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries, and the student of operatic and theatrical conditions in a transitional age should be interested in this book. T.J. Walsh is the author of "Opera in Dublin 1705-1797: The Social Scene", "Monte Carlo Opera 1879-1909", "Second Empire Opera: The Theatre Lyrique, Paris 1851-1870" and "Monte Carlo Opera 1910-1951". **If you have any queries about this book, please do not hesitate to contact us at hello@ravenbooks. ie**
