1860, from day to day
1860. With other artists, Giacomo Meyerbeer, Jacques Offenbach and Gioachino Rossini influenced their time (romantic era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Gustav Mahler, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Béatrice et Bénédict, Op. 27” de Hector Berlioz, for example.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1860 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 240 of these moments for 1860.
