Berlioz in London

A concert in February 1848

    Berlioz first visited London between November 1847 and July 1848. On Monday 7 February 1848 he gave his first concert, which consisted entirely of his own compositions, at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane. This page reproduces a review of that concert published in the Illustrated London News on 12 February. See also on this site an article on Berlioz that appeared in the same issue of the ILN.

    The text of the review and the accompanying image have been scanned from our own copy of the issue of 12 February 1848 of the Illustrated London News.
