| Abstract | As the most prominent member of a family of four generations of Irish musicians in France, Joseph O’Kelly was part of the Irish community in 19th-century France. However, despite the presence of an active network of eminent musicians and prominent Irish exiles during his lifetime, and although he produced a prolific oeuvre of published compositions and received a number of public honours, his name was quickly forgotten after his early death. Today, his place in the histories of French or Irish music is less than prominent. Yet, the study of his music through press coverage of his performances reveals fascinating insights into a Franco-Irish biography, his astonishing perseverance in opera, his successes and failures, and possible reasons for his early neglect. |
