| dbo:abstract | Edward Fitzball (eigentlich Edward Ball; * 1793 in Burwell in Cambridgeshire; † 27. Oktober 1873 in Chatham in Kent) war ein produktiver englischer Theaterdichter und Librettist.Wegen seiner Vorliebe für schaurige Sujets und Grand-Guignol-Effekte war er auch als „The Terrible Fitzball“ bekannt. (de) Edward Fitzball (20 March 1793 – 27 October 1873) was a popular English playwright, who specialised in melodrama. His real surname was Ball, and he was born at Burwell, Cambridgeshire. Fitzball was educated in Newmarket, was apprenticed to a Norwich printer in 1809. He produced some dramatic pieces at the local theatre, and eventually the marked success of his Innkeeper of Abbeville, or The Ostler and the Robber (1820), together with the friendly acceptance of one of his pieces at the Surrey Theatre by Thomas John Dibdin, induced him to settle in London. During the next twenty-five years, he produced a great number of plays, most of which were successful. He had a special talent for nautical drama. His Floating Beacon (Surrey Theatre, 19 April 1824) ran for 140 nights, and his Pilot (Adelphi, 1825) for 200 nights. He also produced a seminal play on The Flying Dutchman and wrote the libretto for Edward Loder's Raymond and Agnes. His greatest triumph in melodrama was perhaps Jonathan Bradford, or Murder at the Roadside Inn (Surrey Theatre, 12 June 1833). He was at one time stock dramatist and reader of plays at Covent Garden, and afterwards at Drury Lane. He had a considerable reputation as a songwriter and as a librettist in opera. He wrote the librettos for William Vincent Wallace's operas Maritana and Lurline. The last years of his life were spent in retirement at Chatham, where he died at the age of 80.

(fr) Edward Fitzball, geboren als Ball (Burwell, 1792 - Chatham, 27 oktober 1873) was een Engelse toneelschrijver-producer en gespecialiseerd in melodrama. Fitzball werd opgeleid in Newmarket, werd daarna aangenomen bij een drukker uit Norwich in 1809. Hij produceerde een aantal dramatische stukken bij het plaatselijke theater in de jaren erna, zoals Innkeeper of Abbeville, of The Osiler and the Robber, die voor hem beginnend succes brachten. Door vriendschappelijke bemiddeling van Thomas John Dibdin vervolgde Fitzball zijn loopbaan aan de Surrey Theatre in Londen. De volgende vijfentwintig jaar produceerde Fitzbal een groot aantal toneelstukken met groot succes. Zijn stuk Floating Beacon (Surrey Theatre, 19 april 1824) liep gedurende 140 voorstellingen en zijn Pilot (Adelphi, 1825) beleefde 200 voorstellingen. Hij produceerde ook het kleinschalige theaterstuk The Flying Dutchman. Zijn grootste triomf vierde hij met het melodramatische Jonathan Bradford, or Murder at the Roadside Inn (Surrey Theatre, 12 juni 1833). (nl) |
