BUNN, ALFRED (1796-186o)

This article appears in Volume V04, Page 799 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BUN-CAL
BUNN, ALFRED (1796-186o) , English theatrical manager, was appointed stage-manager of Drury Lane theatre, London, in 1823. In 1826 he was managing the Theatre Royal,
Birmingham
 , and in 1833 he undertook the
joint
  management of Drury
Lane and Covent Garden, London. In this undertaking he met with vigorous opposition. A bill for the abolition of the patent theatres was passed in the
House
  of Commons, but on Bunn's
petition
  was thrown out by the
House
  of Lords. He had difficulties first with his company, then with the lord
chamberlain
 , and had to face the keen rivalry of the other theatres. A long-
standing
  quarrel with Macready resulted in the tragedian assaulting the manager. In 184o Bunn was declared a bankrupt, but he continued to manage Drury Lane till 1848. Artistically his
control
  of the two
chief
  English theatres was highly successful. Nearly every leading English actor played under his management, and he made a courageous attempt to establish. English opera, producing the principal works of Balfe. He had some
gift
  for writing, and most of the libretti of these operas were translated by himself. In The Stage Before and Behind the Curtain (3 vols., 184o) he gave a full account of his managerial experiences. He died at Boulogne on the 20th of December 186o.
