Throughout the nineteenth century, people heard more music in the theatre than they did in almost any other area of their lives. But unlike film music, theatrical music has received very little attention from scholars. In this groundbreaking study, Michael V. Pisani goes in search of these abandoned sounds. Featuring dozens of musical examples and images of the old theatres, Music for the Melodramatic Theatre charts the progress of the genre from its earliest use in the eighteenth century to the elaborate stage productions of the very early twentieth century.
