Opis

The book offers for the first time an in-depth look into the mechanisms that governed opera production in Eastern Adriatic theatres during the late Habsburg era, against the backdrop of a lively cultural mix resulting from the coexistence of Austrian, Italian and Croatian elements. The Management of Opera. Eastern Adriatic Theatres (1861-1918) reconstructs the complex system of operatic production and organisation in the theatres of Istria, Rijeka and Dalmatia in light of the networks between impresarios, theatre managers, singers, musicians and publishers.
