The collection consisted primarily of thousands of printed and manuscript scores, many of masterpieces that are still popular today, others of operas that are now largely forgotten. The core of the collection was formed in the midnineteenth century, when it was housed in the offices of the impresarios Vidal y Roger and his son Andrés Vidal y Llimona in Barcelona. It was probably in the 1880s, with the definitive relocation of Andrés Vidal y Llimona in Madrid, that the collection was transferred to this city, where from 1895 Vidal y Llimona is associated with Antonio Boceta, causing the company to be called Vidal, Llimona y Boceta. The collection continued to grow well into the twentieth century. Through the intervention of Emilio Casares, in 1992 the Instituto Complutense de Sciencias Musicales acquired this extraordinary collection, which is now housed in the Biblioteca Historica Marques de Valdecilla. The Fondo Vidal, Llimona y Boceta constitutes the main body of this exhibition, which is complemented by numerous items from the libraries of the Complutense University of Madrid and from various private collections. The vast majority of these materials are on public display for the first time. The exhibition uses these fascinating materials not only to document the hectic activity of a group of impresarios who contributed in a fundamental way to the thriving operatic activities of Barcelona, Madrid, and many other cities, but also, and most importantly, to explore the numerous facets of the world of opera. The first part of the exhibition (showcases 1-10) traces the cultural webs to which opera belongs, from the connections between opera and literature to the use of theatrical masterpieces as sources for popular operas, the visual appeal of exoticism in opera of the 19th century, the rise of the Spanish translations, and the contribution of Spanish composers to the history of the genre.Biblioteca Histórica U.C.M.Universidad Complutense de Madrid20192019-01-3020192019-01-30journal articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/17451reponame:Docta Complutenseinstname:Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM)Españolspaopen accesshttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:docta.ucm.es:20.500.14352/174512026-06-02T12:44:21Z
