1791Best.-Nr. 3005370Paris: l'Auteur 1791. Some small tears and damage. A very good copy. Octavo; original condition stitched in plain blue-grey wrappers. First edition of one of the most popular operas of the Revolution depicting the down-trodden villagers of the Moon after the arrival of the glamorous aviator Nicodème bringing news of events in France via Montgolfier balloon. Although this was an era of tremendous advances in stagecraft as the theatres of Paris and London vied with each other for the most stupendous effects Beffroy's lunar setting and the use of space travel by hot-air balloon was highly unusual. Beffroy de Reigny 1757-1811 was a successful journalist and dramatist usually writing under the nom-de-plume of "Cousin Jacques." His most important works were written in the period immediately following the French Revolution and he was fond of using lunar society to satirise the French as can be seen in his burlesque journal Les Lunes and its successor the Courrier des planètes. This is one of several Paris editions of the same year another appeared in Avignon and a "third" edition of 1797 is also recorded the last with subtle but pessimistic changes to the text. As the title confirms the opera was first performed in November 1790 running for over four hundred performances. . l'Auteur unknown

1817Best.-Nr. AQ35159London: s.n. 1817. Single leaf broadside. Browned with staining and chipping to edges and some loss to upper right corner. An apparently unrecorded playbill displaying an early effort by London's Lyceum Theatre renamed The English Opera House in the summer of 1817 to present an illumination of the 'audience part of the theatre' during a performance of The Persian Hunters or the Rose of Gurgistan a comic opera featuring music by English composer Charles Edward Horn 1786-1849. Although the use of gaslight in street-lamps had first been demonstrated a decade prior in 1807 the goal to introduce gaslighting to the commercial stage took years to evolve into the competitive landscape of 1817 where three of London's premier West End venues the Theatre Royal Covent Garden Theatre Royal Drury Lane and the Lyceum Theatre entered into a rapid race to produce the first fully-gaslit public performances in a West End venue. The Royalty an East End theatre later renamed The East London Theatre had previously installed gas piping and lighting fixtures across both the auditorium and the stage in 1816 demonstrating the viability of such a project. The English Opera House led by director Samuel Arnold proudly boasted on August 6 1817 that 'Gas Lighting will this evening be introduced over the whole stage' seemingly claiming themselves the winners of the century's most contested technical theatre contest. Despite this the lack of an illuminated auditorium meant that the theatre's audience remained in candlelight until a month later when the venue opened fully illuminated for the first time. The Theatre Royal Drury Lane despite only revealing its gaslit stage on the 6th September 1817 was able to argue that due to their introduction of gaslighting into the auditorium several weeks prior they were in fact the first of the three theatres to achieve the much vied- for feat. On the same night The Theatre Royal Covent Garden also offered a demonstration of gaslight on their stage finally concluding the rivalry and introducing a vital element of technical staging into London's leading venues for the remainder of the century. .
