The year 1872 in classical music and in lyrical art
1872. With other artists, Giuseppe Verdi, Richard Wagner and Jacques Offenbach influenced their time (romantic era). That year would see the birth of future classical or lyrical artists, such as Alexander Scriabin, while others would disappear. That year, new works would be composed, published or performed for the first time in public, such as “Aida” de Giuseppe Verdi, for example. That year, halls or orchestras would be founded or ceased to operate.
All these moments, more or less notable, make the year 1872 a page in the history of classical and lyrical music to be discovered or rediscovered. soclassiq currently lists more than 290 of these moments for 1872.
