In 1764 the first printing press was established in the French Caribbean colonies, launching the official documentation of operas and plays performed there, and marking the inauguration of the first theatre in the colonies. A rigorous study of preFrench Revolution performance practices in Guadeloupe, Martinique, and Saint-Domingue (now Haiti), Powerss book examines the elaborate system of social casting in these colonies  the environments in which nonwhite artists emerged  and both negative and positive contributions of the Catholic Church and the military to operas and concerts produced in the colonies. The author also explores the level of participation of nonwhites in these productions, as well as theatre architecture, dcor, repertoire, seating arrangements, and types of audiences. The status of nonwhite artists in colonial society  the range of operas in which they performed  their accomplishments, praise, criticism  and the use of texts and white actors/singers (with blackened faces) present a clear picture of French operatic culture in these colonies. Approaching the French Revolution, the study concludes with an examination of the ways in which colonial opera was affected by slave uprisings, the French Revolution, the emergence of patriotic theatres, and their role in fostering support for the king, as well as the impact on subsequent operas produced in the colonies and in the United States.
