Description
A collection of one volume of programmes from Rivière’s Concerts, 1888. The collection covers the period May 19th to October 14th of that year. There is one programme per day, usually covering the two concerts that took place – two hour concerts at 11 am and 7:30 pm.
The programmes are headed "Llandudno pier company" and it is assumed that the concerts took place on Llandudno pier. The concerts were conducted by Riviere, and featured a "Grand orchestra" of around thirteen to fifteen players, as well as piano accompanist. Various solo singers appeared in the concerts, often performing on consecutive days for roughly a week at a time.
The concerts are entitled "Vocal and instrumental concerts", though singers usually only featured in the evening concerts. Both morning and evening concerts featured a mixture of fantasias, waltzes, quadrilles and other types of selections from opera and operetta. The concerts contained two halves, usually including around five or six numbers in each. There were occasional themed nights, including Massenet concerts, Welsh concerts and "Children's" concerts.
