Citation | PEP.775.015 14 Mar 1775:852 (1/22) London, December 13. A gentleman was exclaiming lately against the very high salaries given to the opera singers. A good voice says he, stands the manager in at least 2000l. a year, and under a three years contract. What is that, cries another gentleman, to the salaries given at the opera house, near Westminster Hall, where the manager often pays double the sum for a first rate voice, and is under a contract for seven years! |
