1851, from day to day
1851. With other artists, Adolphe Adam, Gioachino Rossini and Giacomo Meyerbeer influenced their time (romantic era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Vincent d'Indy, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Rigoletto” de Giuseppe Verdi, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1851 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 180 of these moments for 1851.
