Summary:

From the Renaissance until the birth of modern naturalistic drama, theatre audiences expected performances to be staged in stunning, illusionistic sets. What these 16th-19th century 'spectaculars' looked like can be seen in the superb designs reproduced here. This was the period when operas were more like variety shows and the stage designer was often more acclaimed than the singers - the great age of what Wynne Jeudwine, graphic art specialist and former Editor of Apollo magazine, terms the Theatre of Illusion.
