Does any similar list or article exist about what Abraham Lincoln might have seen performed onstage (plays and operas)?
As for the operas, these were alledgedly performed by New York opera companies that toured to Washington. Where did they perform? At Ford's, Grover's or both? (Or elsewhere?) (I would really like to know what size those orchestras were.)
