Opera is a fragile, complex art, but it flourished extravagantly in San Francisco during the Gold Rush years. How did this madness for opera take root and grow? This study contributes to a new understanding of urban culture in the Jacksonian-Manifest Destiny eras, and the role of opera in cities during this time, especially in the American West.
