Music for the Melodramatic Theatre in Nineteenth-Century London and New York
Throughout the nineteenth century, people heard more music in the theatre—accompanying popular dramas such as Frankenstein, Oliver Twist, Uncle Tom’s Cabin, Lady Audley’s Secret, The Corsican Brothers, The Three Musketeers, as well as historical romances by Shakespeare and Schiller—than they did in almost any other area of their lives.

Un avvertimento ai gelosi
This is the first publication of Un avvertimento ai gelosi (1831), a one-act salon opera for six singers and piano by Manuel del Pópulo Vicente Rodríguez García (17751832). Renowned as one of the leading tenor virtuosos of his generation, García was also an esteemed teacher who shared valuable bel canto techniques with his students, including his famous children, Maria Malibran, Pauline Viardot, and Manuel Patricio García, whose historic treatises document his fathers method. A prolific composer, Garcías works were applauded in Madrid, Naples, Paris, London, New York, and Mexico City. Un avvertimento ai gelosi (A Warning to Those Who Are Jealous) was designed to prepare Garcías students for demanding operatic careers. Based on a comic farsa, this delightful opera displays the composers highly florid vocal style in brilliant arias and ensembles. The edition presents the score and libretto (with translation) and also provides detailed performance notes derived from Garcías teaching method, including improvised ornamentation.
