Troupes d'arrondissement: Sung Entertainment in the French Provinces, 1824-1864

在1824年法国系统化地划分为戏剧剧场的过程中，没有常驻剧团的城镇被巡回演出的剧团访问，表演从歌剧和杂耍到杂耍的一系列重演。这个项目将把这些剧团的审美和制度实践作为了解从1824年到剧院放松管制(1864年)期间围绕娱乐的更广泛的文化和社会问题的窗口。我将探讨关于音乐重演如何适应当地条件的问题；高雅和低俗艺术形式之间的紧张关系；表演者在法国的流动；女性表演者和管理者的代理，反之亦然。

In the 1824 systematized division of France into theatrical arrondisements, towns deprived of a resident theatre company were visited by travelling troupes performing a range of repetoire from opera and vaudeville. This project will consider the aesthetic and institutional practices of these troupes as windows onto larger cultural and social questions surrounding entertainment from 1824 until the deregulation of theatres (1864). I will explore questions about the adaptation of musical repetoire to locall conditions; tensions between high and low art forms; movement of performers through France; the agency of female performers and managers, and vice versa.
