EDITORS COMMENTS
Exeter Hall, London, 1858: An Afternoon of Musical Bliss This evocative image captures the magic of a bygone era, as the sun casts a warm glow through the stained glass windows of Exeter Hall in London, illuminating the packed auditorium for an afternoon performance of an oratorio in 1858. The grandeur of the Victorian architecture is on full display, with its intricate details and ornate decorations reflecting the elegance and sophistication of the time. The public, dressed in their finest attire, eagerly anticipate the musical feast that awaits them. Gentlemen in top hats and frock coats, ladies in crinoline dresses and bonnets, all gathered together to celebrate the power of music and the unity it brings. The excitement is palpable, as the orchestra tunes their instruments and the choir takes their positions on the stage. Oratorios, a popular form of musical entertainment during the 1850s, were lengthy musical compositions that combined elements of opera, choral music, and recitative. They were typically based on religious or biblical themes and often featured soloists and orchestras. The performers in this photograph are likely preparing to bring to life one of these grand musical works, transporting the audience on a journey of emotion and spiritual reflection. As the conductor raises his baton, the anticipation in the room reaches a fever pitch. The first notes ring out, filling the hall with a rich, harmonious sound that resonates through every soul present. For the next few hours, the audience is transported to another world, united in their love of music and the shared experience of this magical moment in time.
