Carl rosa 26 april 2018 ragged university
The man who did most to bring opera to Scotland (and indeed Britain) in the golden age of opera, the late nineteenth century, was Karl Rose, a native of Hamburg and by turns a citizen of the USA and finally of Britain. He was active in Britain with Carl Rosa Opera from 1873 until his death in 1889, at the early age of 47.
Histories, memoirs and biographies proved of little use in uncovering details of Rosa’s business model, and of his opera tours. Current research would not have been practicable before the digitisation of newspapers accelerated the search process. They represent a critical resource, not least as newspapers in those days carried more detail in both advertisements and reviews than they do today.

Henry VIII adopted their style from the tip of his feathered hats all the way down to his slashed square-toed shoes. Learn more about these mercenary soldiers who dominated European battlefields for almost a century and what it’s like to reenact their lives for the public.
