New Orleans and the Creation of Transatlantic Opera, 1819-1859 explores the thriving operatic life of New Orleans in the first half of the nineteenth century, drawing out the transatlantic connections that animated it. By focusing on a variety of individuals, their extended webs of human contacts, and the materials that they moved along with them, this book pieces together what it took to bring opera to New Orleans and the ways in which the city's operatic life shaped contemporary perceptions of global interconnection. The early chapters explore the process of bringing opera to the stage, taking a detailed look at the management of New Orleans's Francophone theater, the Theatre d'Orleans, as well as the performers who came to the city and the reception they received. But opera's significance was not confined to the theater, and later chapters of the book examine how opera permeated everyday life in New Orleans, through popular sheet music, novels, magazines, and visual culture, and dancing in its many ballrooms. New Orleans helped to create transatlantic opera, but opera in turn helped to create the city of New Orleans"--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Opera $z New Orleans $z New Orleans $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Opera and transnationalism $z New Orleans. $z New Orleans. 650 0 $a Music $z New Orleans $z New Orleans $x French influences. 651 0 $a New Orleans (La.) $x Foreign influences. $x Foreign influences. 651 0 $a New Orleans (La.) $x Civilization $y 19th century. 650 7 $a Civilization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862898 650 7 $a Civilization $x Foreign influences. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01352360 650 7 $a Music $x French influences. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01030327 650 7 $a Opera. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01046145 650 7 $a Opera and transnationalism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst02032989 651 7 $a Louisiana $z New Orleans. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204311 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 830 0 $a Opera lab. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117021802.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7F870A28DDAE11EDB031D5162DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
