9/06/51: Azael, or the Prodigal(drama): Philadelphia, Chestnut Street TheatreThe secret(farce): Philadelphia, Chestnut Street Theatre

John Curtis: For the season of 1851-52 the management of the Chestnut Street Theatre had engaged as stagemanager, Henry Wallack, who thirty-three years before had sung the name part in Philadelphia’s first grandopera,Don Giovanni. Of course age had killed his singing voice, but he was still good in certain dramatic parts.He had been away from the city for a long time, however, and had been virtually forgotten, for a new generationof theatre goers had grown up... A benefit was arranged for him on September 6, 1851, and the attractionoffered was the spectacle,Azael, or the Prodigal, and the farce,The secret... In a speech which was his swansong, he referred to the days of 1818, which reference brought a tingle to the blood of the few who were presentwho remembered Philadelphia’s Grand Opera premiere.

John Curtis: The weather was extremely hot, and people had no hankering for opera with the temperaturenearing the hundred mark, and the performance ofThe daughter of the regimentended the season... The weatherremained hot, but the National Theatre continued open to poor business. On the night of July 5, during aperformance ofPutnam, the Iron Son of ’76, some one stuck a match on the scenery... The building burned likethe proverbial timber. The old Volunteer Fire Department turned out in force, and as usual, fought each other aswell as the fire. The blaze caught the Chinese Museum, and soon, it too, was in flames. The two auditoriumsbecame a pair of furnaces... the fire turned its attention to the east as well, and before it was gotten under controlnearly the entire block from Eighth to Ninth and from Chestnut to Sansom Streets was a mass of ruins.Fortunately the fire was held to the north side of Sansom Street, otherwise the old Walnut Street Theatre wouldhave probably have gone as well. Neither the National Theatre or the Chinese Museum was ever rebuilt.

John Curtis: The season of 1854-55, G. H. Griffiths and Wayne Olivine were lessees and managers of theChestnut Street Theatre, known for more than sixty years as "Old Drury." This theatre, which had figured sostrongly in the dramatic and operatic history of the city, closed forever on May 1, 1855. That night the attractionconsisted of the burletta,The loan of a lover, and the comedies,Faint Heart never won Fair Lady, andPerfection. The company included, in addition to the managers, Julia Daly, Mrs. Griffiths, Mrs. Mueller, MissAnnie Graham, Mrs. Monell, H. Lewis, S. W. Glenn, Mr. Morrow, and Mr. Jones. Some of them will berecognized as having appeared in opera. The theatre was purchased by Mr. Swift, a stock broker, It was torndown and a row of stores ereted on the site... And so passed "Old Drury."

John Curtis: We hav e traced the history of the Dramma from its first appearance in America up to itsintroduction in Philadelphia, then followed its footsteps until the comng of Grand Opera, to which we have sinceconfined out attention. Opera, once the function of theatre stock companies, we have seen gradually grow intoits proper place as a highly specialized art, and many of the world’s greatest singers have appeared to delight ourears. So we have brought our history to a point in our country’s career when the magnificent nation founded andwelded together by the patroits and geniuses of less than a century before stand on the brink of chaos anddismemberment; when it is about to enter upon a staggering struggle for national life and intact boundaries, fromwhich struggle it is to emerge triumphant, and following this, to advance with greater strides in every line ofhuman endevor; and in this advance, opera will not be found lagging.

John Curtis notes that on February 10, the Holman English Opera Company appeared at Fox’s American VarietyTheatre (later the Chestnut Street Opera House), and interspersed performances of comic opera withLasonnambulaandThe bohemian girl, but these were very much abridged versions, and merely part of the generalvariety bills. The company remained two weeks.
