Descriptive Summary Creator: Various Title: Brooklyn Theater Playbills and Programs Collection Date Span: 1875-1972 Abstract: The Brooklyn Theater Playbills and Programs Collection consists of 800 playbills and programs for motion pictures, musical concerts, high school commencement exercises, lectures, photoplays, vaudeville, and burlesque, as well as the more traditional offerings such as plays and operas, all from Brooklyn theaters. Quantity: 2.25 linear feet Location: Brooklyn Collection Map Room, cabinet 11 Repository: Brooklyn Public Library – Brooklyn Collection Reference Code: BC0071 Scope and Content Note The 800 items in the Brooklyn Theater Playbills and Programs Collection, which occupies 2.25 cubic feet, easily refute the stereotypes of Brooklyn as provincial and insular. From the late 1880s until the 1940s, the period covered by the bulk of these materials, the performing arts thrived in Brooklyn and were available to residents right at their doorsteps. At one point, there were over 200 theaters in Brooklyn. Frequented by the rich, the middle class and the working poor, they enjoyed mass popularity. With materials from 115 different theaters, the collection spans almost a century, from 1875 to 1972. The highest concentration is in the years 1890 to 1909, with approximately 450 items.

  • Adelina Patti and Clara Louise Kellogg in the Chicago Tribune, 1860-1876
    DOCUMENTING DIVAS: ADELINA PATTI AND CLARA LOUISE KELLOGG IN THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE, 1860-1876 Kathryn Jancaus A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC December 2020 Committee: Eftychia Papanikolaou, Advisor Ryan Ebright © 2020 Kathryn Jancaus All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Eftychia Papanikolaou, Advisor When Swedish soprano Jenny Lind (1820-1887) came to the United States in 1850, the ecstatic craze surrounding her arrival belied a larger trend which was taking root among the American press and public: a fascination with the lives of celebrity opera singers. One of the Lind enthusiasts was a college student named George P. Upton (1834-1919), who later became the music critic for the Chicago Tribune. In his work over the following decades, Upton continued to take a vivid interest in the lives, careers, and personalities of prima donnas, writing about them with an intensely personal style that was common in newspapers of his time. As journalists for the Tribune provided news about opera stars to their readers in Chicago, they not only shaped the public images of these singers but also promoted the appreciation of classical music as a cause for civic pride in their relatively young city. In this study I examine how George P. Upton and other journalists published in the Chicago Tribune wrote about two star sopranos of the mid to late nineteenth century: Adelina Patti (1843-1919) and Clara Louise Kellogg (1842-1916). I bring together newspaper articles from the years 1860 through 1876 and use secondary literature to place the critics’ approach in context.

    Cultural History of Indianapolis: Music, 1875-1890 Eva Draegert* The fashion in eighteenth century Europe of family orchestras performing their own compositions was vanishing from the scene by the late nineteenth century. America, though still somewhat dependent on Europe musically, did not adopt the fashion of family group performances. The trend for the average American was to become a spectator rather than a performer; this led to a small but select group of performers and to some decline in appreciation of music on the part of audiences. Indianapolis was experiencing this development from 1875 to 1890. Soloists studied both at home and abroad to increase their skill, and amateur groups frequently performed vocal and instrumental music under the baton of a paid expert conductor. The Indianapolis Opera Company was formed during this period, and a few years later a sym- phony orchestra was organized. Group participation, es- pecially in vocal music, was greatly stimulated by the Ger- mans. The musical accomplishments of the Germans had long been recognized. As early as 1850 the Indianapolis Journal, for instance, stated that “the Germans far excel the Ameri- cans in musical attainments for the reason that they pursue a knowledge of the ‘divine art’ with industry, while Ameri- cans are very apt to let their ‘ardor cool’ and withdraw from a pursuit that does not put them in possession of their object immediately.”’ The Indianapolis Maennerchor, since its establishment in 1854, had been active in regular concerts, and the Turn- verein had given the public music on a grand scale in the Saengerfest of 1867.
