ARTICLES RELATED TO Music Hall - Music Hall performers | | | |  Music Hall - Music Hall performers: Encyclopedia II - Music Hall - OriginsMusic Hall in London had its beginnings in the entertainments provided at summer fairs such as the Bartholomew Fair from the 17th century onward. Many of these were suppressed under the strict puritan rule of the Commonwealth.

| | | | Music Hall - Music Hall performers: Encyclopedia II - Music Hall - Music Hall in literature drama and screen The Victorian era was celebrated by the 1944 film Champagne Charlie while J. B. Priestley's 1965 novel Lost Empires evokes the world of Edwardian music hall just before the start of World War I; the title is a reference to the Empire theatres (as well as foreshadowing the decline of the British Empire itself). It was recently adapted as a television miniseries, shown in both the UK and in the U.S. as a PBS presentation. Priestley's 1929 novel The Good Companions, set in the same period, follows th ...

The acceptance of Music Hall as a legitimate cultural form was sealed by the first Royal Variet ...

Subject matter became more contemporary and humorous, and accompaniment was provided by larger house-orchestras as increasing affluence gave the lower classes more access to commercial entertainment and to a wider range of musical instruments, including the piano. The consequent change in musical taste from traditional to more professional forms of entertainment arose in response to the rapid industrialisation ...
