Description
"This delightfully written book, the sequel to Dr Walsh's Opera in Dublin 1705-1797 (Allen Figgis, 1973), 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 with wit, verve, and humour, two decades of theatrical and operatic life in Dublin. This was a period which saw the decline of the English ballad opera and pasticcio and the rise of Italian opera and bel canto, including the first productions in Ireland of Mozart's Cosi fan tutte and Don Giovanni. Such famous singers of the time as Angelica Catalani, John Braham, Giuseppe Naldi, Giuseppe Ambrogetti, Michael Kelly, Teresa Bertinotti Radicati and Catherine Stephens are the subject of many vivid descriptions and anecdotes."--BOOK JACKET. "Technical advances in the theatre, from the 'few hundred gallons of Spermaceti oil' required in 1800 to the installation of gas lighting in 1819, form an important part of the story. Neither the reader interested in the social history of Dublin at the turn of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, nor the student of colourful operatic and theatrical conditions in a transitional age will be disappointed by this book."--BOOK JACKET.
