Everist traces the complete arc of the Odéon's short but highly successful life from ascent to triumph, decline, and closure. He outlines the role it played in expanding operatic repertoire and in changing the face of musical life in Paris. Everist reconstructs the political power structures that controlled the world of Parisian music drama, the internal administration of the theater, and its relationship with composers and librettists, and with the city of Paris itself. His rich depiction of French cultural life and the artistic contexts that allowed the Odéon to flourish highlights the benefit of close and innovative examination of society's institutions.OperaFranceParis19th centuryacadmie royale.aristocracy.auber.barber of seville.beaumarchais.berlioz.bohemians.boieldieu.bourbon restoration.bourgeoisie.charles x.chorus.composers.drama.eugene scribe.faubourg st germain.france.french culture.french history.industrial revolution.july monarchy.la dame blanche.les trois genres.libretto.louis xviii.lyric theater.monarchy.music history.music.musical theater.napoleon.opera comique.opera house.opera.paris odeon.paris.performing arts.restoration.society.theater.tout paris.Opera782.1/0944/36109034Everist Mark303884MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910780247903321Music drama at the Paris Odéon, 1824-18283805207UNINA
