The Enterprising Impresario (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Excerpt from The Enterprising Impresario

Prima Donna's feet. He is the incarnation of unlimited liability. He is liable to the public, liable to the artists, liable to Government, liable to proprietors, liable, in short, to everything and everybody except himself. By nature amphi bious; at times strutting proudly upon the high and dry land of prosperity, at others wallowing in the muddy waters of misfortune; equally familiar with both, he is philosophically indifferent to either. His habits are luxurious to extravagance. Whether fortune frown or smile, he keeps his carriages and horses; he is a good 'whip, and, if not gouty, riding is his favourite exercise.

Excerpt from The Enterprising Impresario

What are we going to talk about? An Impresario! What can that be? Many may have a dim recollection of having somewhere met with one; all who take any interest in the question, and do not understand the meaning of the word, will, if their curiosity carry them so far, turn to the nearest Italian dictionary, and look it out.
