In the sometimes faulty and incomplete records of the American stage to which writers on musical history have hitherto been forced to repair, 1750 is set down as the natal year for English ballad opera in America. It is thought that it was in that year that “The Beggar’s Opera” found its way to New York, after having, in all probability, been given by the same company of comedians in Philadelphia in the middle of the year preceding. But it is as little likely that these were the first performances of ballad operas on this side of the Atlantic.
Accepting the 1750 date as the earliest of unmistakable records for a performance of “The Beggar's Opera” in New York, the original home of opera here was the Nassau Street Theater--the first of two known by that name. It was a two-storied house, with high gables. Six wax lights were in front of the stage, and from the ceiling dangled a “barrel hoop,” pierced by half a dozen nails on which were spiked as many candles. Illuminating gas did not reach New York till 1823, and “a thousand candles” was put forth as an attractive feature at a concert in the American metropolis as late as 1845.
“The Beggar's Opera” was only twenty years old when the comedians sent to the colonies by William Hallam, under the management of his brother, Lewis, produced it. The first audience-room was only fifty-four or fifty-five feet deep; there were no footlights, the stage being illuminated by four hoops of candles, over which a crown hung from the borders. The orchestra held only fifteen or twenty musicians. Hallam's actors went first to Williamsburg, Virginia, but were persuaded to change their home to New York in the summer of 1753, among other things by the promise that they would find a “very fine ‘Playhouse Building’” here. Nevertheless, when Lewis Hallam came he found the fine playhouse unsatisfactory, and may be said to have inaugurated the habit or custom, or whatever it may be called, followed by so many managers since, of beginning his enterprise by erecting a new theater. The old one in Nassau Street was torn down, and a new one built on its site. It was promised that it should be “very fine, large, and commodious,” and it was built between June and September, 1753; how fine, large, and commodious it was may, therefore, be imagined. A year later, the German Calvinists, wanting a place of worship, bought the theater, and New York was without a playhouse until a new one on Cruger's Wharf was built by David Douglas. This was abandoned in turn, and Mr. Douglas built a second theater, this time in Chapel Street. It cost $1,625, and can scarcely have been very roomy or very ornate either. Such as it was, however, it was the home of the drama in all its forms until about 1765, and was the center around which a storm raged which culminated in a riot that wrecked it.
