1 The first and the second parts have six essays each, while the third has three. The book is thus well balanced. An appendix, by Alicia C. Levin, presents us with very useful chronological summary, in tabular form, for each of the seven theatres discussed.

2 There are entries devoted to composers and their works, as well as to places, genres, institutions, trends, and ideas or keywords.

3 For example, those of Jean Mongrédien and Hervé Lacombe. One also regrets not seeing mentioned Le spectaculaire dans les arts de la scène du Romantisme à la Belle-Epoque, ed. Isabelle Moindrot (Paris: CNRS, 2006).

6 It is unfortunate that this biographical article fails to mention the exposition catalogue Entre le théâtre et l'Histoire, la famille Halévy, 1760–1960, ed. Henri Loyrette (Paris: Fayard, Réunion des Musées Nationaux, 1996).

7 Unfortunately, almost every article with quotations in French includes errors. If the book is ever reprinted, it will be important to correct these.
