1870, from day to day
1870. With other artists, Richard Wagner, Giuseppe Verdi and Alexander Borodin influenced their time (romantic era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Franz Lehár, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “The Valkyrie” 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 1870 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 310 of these moments for 1870.
