Music and Musicians on the London Stage, 1695-1705

From 1695 to 1705, rival London theater companies based at Drury Lane and Lincoln's Inn Fields competed by staging a variety of productions both old and new. Kathryn Lowerre charts the interactions of the two companies from a musical perspective and provides rich analysis of the relationship of music to genres including comedy, dramatick opera, and musical tragedy. During this period, all theater was musical theater.
