The study of singers' art has emerged as a prominent area of
inquiry within musicology in recent years. Female Singers on the
French Stage, 1830-1848 shifts the focus from the artwork onstage
to the labour that went on behind the scenes. Through extensive
analysis of primary source documents, Kimberly White explores the
profession of singing, operatic culture, and the representation of
female performers on the French stage between 1830 and 1848, and
reveals new perspectives on the social, economic, and cultural
status of these women. The book attempts to reconstruct and clarify
contemporary practices of the singer at work, including vocal
training, debuts, rehearsals and performance schedules, touring,
benefit concerts, and retirement, as well as the strategies
utilized in publicity and image making. Dozens of case studies,
many compiled from singers' correspondence and archival papers,
shed light on the performers' successes and struggles at a time
when Paris was the operatic centre of Europe.
