Opera Acts explores a wealth of new historical material about
singers in the late nineteenth century and challenges the idea that
this was a period of decline for the opera singer. In detailed case
studies of four figures - the late Verdi baritone Victor Maurel;
Bizet's first Carmen, Celestine Galli-Marie; Massenet's muse of the
1880s and 1890s, Sibyl Sanderson; and the early Wagner star Jean de
Reszke - Karen Henson argues that singers in the late nineteenth
century continued to be important, but in ways that were not
conventionally 'vocal'. Instead they enjoyed a freedom and
creativity based on their ability to express text, act and
communicate physically, and exploit the era's media. By these and
other means, singers played a crucial role in the creation of opera
up to the end of the nineteenth century.
