520    In this study, Ian Woodfield explores the cultural and 
       commercial life of Italian opera in late eighteenth-
       century London. It was a period when theatre and opera 
       worlds mixed, venues were shared, and agents and managers 
       collaborated and competed. Through primary sources, many 
       analysed for the first time, Woodfield examines such 
       issues as finances, recruitment policy, the handling of 
       singers and composers, links with Paris and Italy, and the
       role of women in opera management. These key topics are 
       also placed within the context of a personal dispute 
       between two of the most important managers of the day, the
       woman writer Frances Brooke and the actor David Garrick, 
       which influenced the running of the major venues, the 
       King's Theatre, Drury Lane and Covent Garden. Woodfield 
       has also uncovered new information concerning the 
       influential role of the eighteenth-century music historian
       and critic Charles Burney, as artistic advisor to the 
       King's Theatre.--Publisher description.
