内容説明

This is the first detailed study of the Hotel Guenegaud, the first home of the Paris Opera in 1670, and the first home of the Comedie Francaise ten years later. The account books remain in the Archives of the Comedie Francaise, providing the source for a highly detailed account of the administrative structures and day-to-day running of the theatre. Moreover, a study of the records of ticket sales makes possible not only an analysis of the tastes and composition of the Guenegaud's audience, but also an attempted reconstruction of the theatre auditorium. This book will be helpful for academics in the fields of drama and theatre studies. All quotations from French sources are given in translation.
