Excerpt from The Beginning of Grand Opera in Chicago: 1850 1859 'Opera' has always been a word with which to appeal to the children of men, moreover it has been my experience that whatever interested me - I being an average man - would prove interesting to my fellows. Therefore, when I discovered that the first attempt to produce opera in Chicago was brought to a close by the burning of the theatre, it occurred to me that it ought to be entertaining to learn something of the facts in the case, if they were to be unearthed at this late day. In digging about among the soot-begrimed files of the newspapers of the time there was brought to the surface a wealth of material so amusing in itself, with so many sidelights as to how people felt in the fifties, that I ventured the conclusion that it would be amusing to others.
