Opera And The Press (1869)

The Opera And The Press, written by Charles Lewis Gruneisen in 1869, is a comprehensive study of the relationship between opera and the press during the 19th century. Gruneisen explores how the press influenced the development and reception of opera, and how opera in turn shaped the world of journalism.The book is divided into two parts. The first part discusses the history of opera and its relationship with the press, from the early days of opera in Italy to the rise of the Parisian opera scene. Gruneisen examines the ways in which newspapers and magazines covered opera performances, and how critics and writers influenced public opinion about the art form.The second part of the book focuses on the impact of opera on journalism. Gruneisen argues that opera played a crucial role in the development of modern journalism, as it helped to shape the style and tone of newspaper writing. He also explores the ways in which opera themes and characters were used in journalism, from political cartoons to social commentary.Throughout the book, Gruneisen provides detailed examples and analysis of the interplay between opera and the press, drawing on a wide range of sources including newspapers, magazines, and opera librettos.
