Ottenberg synthesizes material from a variety of
sources--annals, memoirs, and scholarly sources--and, with them,
weaves a coherent narrative of what was performed where, by whom,
and what developments took place. Works, companies, and individual
singers are discussed to reveal the 19th-century world of
performance styles and audience expectations. This is a fascinating
look at a relatively unexplored part of American musical and
cultural history; the book casts new light on opera in America--its
variety, popularity, and appeal to changing audiences throughout
the century.
