Synopsis

""Crotchets and Quavers: Or Revelations of an Opera Manager in America"" is a book written by Max Maretzek in 1855. Maretzek was a famous opera manager who worked in the United States during the 19th century.

He discusses the challenges he faced in bringing European opera to an American audience, the talented singers and musicians he worked with, and the various cities he traveled to in order to put on performances. Maretzek also provides insight into the business side of opera management, including negotiations with theater owners and the financial struggles of running an opera company.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

July 25, 1855. MY DEAR BERLIOZ :WHEN you take up this letter, open it, and turn to the signature, you will in all probability imagine that you are dreaming. You may remember, possibly, that when you quitted London after English opera had terminated for the nine hundred and ninety-ninth time its temporary existence, I promised to write to you. Jullien smanagement had given that highly respectable musical entity its nine hundred and ninety-ninth burial. As times go, all things considered, it was very respectably managed. You and myself had all the trouble of preparing the corpse for the coffin. Balfe, as the doctor, had penned the last prescription ;S ims Reeves, as a native apothecary, carried off all the glory attendant upon putting it out of the land of the living; while that purely mythical personage, nobody, would seem to have pocketed the whole of the money its charms had wheedled from its scant admirers. Very certain is it, that none remained.
