KELLY, MICHAEL (17621826)

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 720 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: JUN-KHA
KELLY, MICHAEL (17621826) , British actor,
singer
  and composer, was the son of a Dublin wine-merchant and dancing-master. He had a musical education at
home
  and in Italy, and for four years from 1783 was engaged to sing at the Court Theatre at Vienna, where he became a friend of Mozart. In 1786 he sang in the first performance of the Nozze di Figaro. Appearing in London, at Drury
Lane
  in 1787, he had a
great
  success, and thenceforth was the
principal
  English
tenor
  at that theatre. In 1793 he became acting-manager of the King's Theatre, and he was in
great
  request at concerts. He wrote a number of songs (including " The Woodpecker"), and the music for many dramatic pieces, now fallen into oblivion. In 1826 he published his entertaining Reminiscences, in writing which he was helped by
Theodore
  Hook. He combined his professional
work
  with conducting a music-shop and a wine-shop, but with disastrous
financial
  results. He died at Margate on the 9th of October 1826.
