Abstract

This article aims to shed light on opera management in coastal theatres taking as an example the case of Istrian and Dalmatian institutions at the turn of the twentieth century. Where did the impresarios come from? How did the singers and the companies reach the coast and what were the main routes on land? Was there a consolidated network between theatre directors and impresarios in hiring artistic staff? The study of the production system behind the performances reveals a dense layer of underlying relationships between theatre management, publishers, singers, and musicians in the analysed theatres.
