Crotchets and Quavers: Or Revelations of an Opera Manager in America is a book written by Max Maretzek in 1855. Maretzek was a famous opera manager who worked in the United States during the 19th century. In this book, he provides a firsthand account of his experiences managing various opera companies in America. He discusses the challenges he faced in bringing European opera to an American audience, the talented singers and musicians he worked with, and the various cities he traveled to in order to put on performances. Maretzek also provides insight into the business side of opera management, including negotiations with theater owners and the financial struggles of running an opera company. This book offers a unique perspective on the history of opera in America during the mid-19th century, as well as a glimpse into the life of a successful opera manager during that time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
