In ancient Rome, the practice of more cultivated music reached public attention of that notorious emperor love of music seems to have been his redeeming feature. In his early twenties, Nero introduced festivals of music on the Greek pattern, to take place five years in Rome, and the first of these was in A.D. 60. He actually took as a lyre-player in the Greek Olympic Games of 66, where, to rumour, it was bribery that he won the first . Nero took care his voice: he dieted and employed an official to warn him he risked vocal strain, and if Nero spoke too loudly in of advice to the contrary, this person had orders forcibly to restrain him! His voice was thin and husky, perhaps we should call a light tenor, but he have had stamina, for his concerts, which large audiences were invited, sometimes lasted for hours. Nobody was allowed to be inattentive or to leave before the concert was over. |
