The year 1865 in classical music and in lyrical art
1865. With other artists, Georges Bizet, Alexander Borodin and Hector Berlioz influenced their time (romantic era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Jean Sibelius, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Tristan and Isolde” de Richard Wagner, for example. That year, halls or orchestras would be founded or ceased to operate.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1865 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 270 of these moments for 1865.
