Discuss the Jockey Club's powerful influence over French opera

What will be an ideal response?


Essay responses should include these points:
• The Jockey Club could interrupt performances by whistling.
• The choice of whether to use or not to use ballet in the performance divided the "house" creatively.
• The Jockey Club rejected Wagner's attempt at a Romantic "music drama"
• Wagner's theme of Tannhäuser, which was conflicting claims of sexual pleasure and spiritual love, was hopelessly Romantic. It may have appealed to a broader audience, but this was considered by many (and publically noted by the Jockey Club) to be weak in form.
