Opera Acts explores a wealth of new historical material about singers in the late nineteenth century and challenges the idea that this was a period of decline for the opera singer. In detailed case studies of four figures - the late Verdi baritone Victor Maurel, Bizet's first Carmen Célestine Galli-Marié, Massenet's muse of the 1880s and 1890s Sibyl Sanderson, and the early Wagner star Jean de Reszke - Karen Henson argues that singers in the late nineteenth century continued to be important, but in ways that were not conventionally 'vocal'. Instead they enjoyed a freedom and creativity based on their ability to express text, act and communicate physically, and exploit the era's media. By these and other means, singers played a crucial role in the creation of opera up to the end of the nineteenth century. - Uncovers new historical material about opera singers in the late nineteenth century - Argues for a new perspective on the role of the singer in the late nineteenth century, making an important new historical argument - Explores the neglected subject of acting and physicality in opera, approaching opera as a performed art and a form of theatre as well as a musical phenomenon
