1861, from day to day
1861. With other artists, Jacques Offenbach, Franz Liszt and Georges Bizet influenced their time (romantic era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Nellie Melba, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “The Force of Destiny” de Giuseppe Verdi, for example. That year, halls or orchestras would be founded or ceased to operate.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1861 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 270 of these moments for 1861.
