Exhibition: Onstage in Amsterdam: Prints from the Schouwburg TheatreCultural Centers - Museums, Cultural Centers - Art/Visual 9/9/2009 - 1/17/2010 McNay Art Museum
In 1772, Amsterdam’s Schouwburg Theatre burned to the ground barely a century after it opened, a common fate for theatres in the era of chandeliers both onstage and off. Flames consumed the painted wings and drops that had magically transformed the stage from a wooded glen to a royal palace, from the sun court of Apollo to the fiery depths of Hades. Luckily, these settings were so novel that, between 1749 and 1770, they were published in engravings, over 30 of which are included in this exhibition from the Tobin Collection of Theatre Arts. Visitors are invited to leave today’s visual technologies behind and become captivated by the Italian style staging that swept Europe in the 1600s and 1700s. |  |
