The Opera and the Press (1869)

The Opera and the Press is a book written by Charles Lewis Gruneisen and first published in 1869. The book explores the relationship between the opera and the press in the 19th century, focusing on the role that newspapers played in shaping public opinion about opera performances and performers. Gruneisen examines the ways in which newspapers covered opera events, including reviews of performances, interviews with singers and composers, and news about the business side of the opera world. He also discusses the influence that newspapers had on the development of opera as an art form, and how the press helped to make opera more accessible to a wider audience. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of opera or the history of journalism, and provides a fascinating look at the intersection of these two fields in the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
