• Opera in Philadelphia 1800 - 1830: Otto E. Albrecht: published (Fall 1979) in theJournalof the American Musicological Society, Vol. XXXII, No. 3.

Albrecht indicates the first performance of each opera presented in Philadelphia between1800 and 1830. He does not indicate the performing company names, venues, casts, orsubsequent performances of the works. He provides the date, title, and composer — venuesare marked ‘‘unknown’’ until I can do further research.

This reference was used to identify the first names of many singers where only a last namehad been given by Curtis.

• Opera on the Road · Traveling Opera Troupes in the United States 1825-60: Katherine K.Preston: University of Illinois Press, Urbana and Chicago 1993.

• Jack Belsom of New Orleans has generously provided full names for many performers andcorrected the spelling of others based on his reseach of opera in that city.

John Curtis: A curious thing about these performances of opera by stock dramatic companies was the apparentdisregard of the voice in casting productions. Hence we find baritones singing tenor roles at times, and viceversa... for even the French Company, it is said, often showed the same reckless disregard of the score. But achange was impending.

Duenna Mrs. Thayermaestro direttore unknown

John Curtis states that this is the first timeThe Duennawas performed in Philadelphia, and does not provide thecomposer’s name (not unusual); but obviously a work with the same name was performed earlier in 1817/18according to Armstrong, and Curtis would have been aware of this. Could this be a different work ? Curtis goeson to write ‘‘evidently this opera was a failure, for it has never been here since.’’

1847John Curtis: ...There were changes. First, the House was renamed the Chestnut Street Opera House, but toprevent its confusion with that other Chestnut Street Opera House of later date, ...we will continue to give it theold name. The second drastic change right at the outset was the entire elimination of the spoken drama. It willbe remembered that up to that time a play was always given as the companion piece to the opera, which plays, ofcourse, we have ignored. So, for the first time in this city the line between opera and the drama was sharplydrawn by an English singing company.
