numerous to list: my heartfelt thanks to Alexandra Kieffer, Annelies Andries, Carmel Raz, Christy Thomas, Henry Balme, Joseph Salem, Julia Doe, Kamala Schelling, Marco Ladd, and Sylvia Leith. Leanne Dodge was an astute copyeditor in the earliest stages; and Hilary Purrington patiently set the music examples. Finally, at a time when the book should long have been in production, Rona Johnston abetted its extra editorial loop and requested slimming with her keen eye for linguistic detail.

      Although—like Wagnerian technologies—I will inevitably fail to cover everyone who has helped the genesis of this book, I would like to thank Alessandra Campana, Clemens Risi, David J. Levin, Jutta Toelle, Laura Tunbridge, Lydia Goehr, and Mauro Calcagno for their encouragement, feedback, friendship, and sometimes hospitality over the years; David Charlton for sharing his unpublished dissertation and his expertise on Parisian tam-tams; Benjamin Steege, Florence Grétreau, and Matthew Goodheart for their help with other gong-related matters; Anselm Gerhard, Charles Kronenberg, Daniel KL Chua, David Rosen, Francesca Brittan, Katherine Hambridge, Laurence Dreyfus, Mary Ann Smart, Ralph Locke, Thomas Betzwieser, and my interlocutors at various colloquia for their valuable comments on early presentations of individual chapters; Sarah Hibberd for inviting me to two science-and-technology workshops that provided important stimuli for chapters 2 and 3; and Ryan Minor for being my most consistent interlocutor and conspirator in all things operatic (as well as lending a second set of eyes to chapter 4). Axel Körner, Benjamin Walton, David Trippett, Flora Willson, Gavin Williams, Katherine Fry, and Sarah Hibberd took it upon themselves to read and critique several chapters in a further workshop at King’s College, London. Roger Parker not only organized this unique occasion but, once again, accompanied my book’s path from the first ideas to its final shape; his uncanny ability to solve structural issues and stoke the creative fires—not to mention his enduring friendship—remain invaluable for my work and myself. I am likewise indebted to Stephen Hinton and my friend Emanuele Senici, the (then) anonymous readers of this manuscript, for their astute observations, critique, and constructive encouragement. At the University of California Press, Mary Francis and, more recently, Raina Polivka have been ardent advocates; Zuha Khan and Benjy Malings lent welcome help during the protracted final stages of preproduction editing, and Dore Brown, Kristine Hunt, and Nicholle Lutz saw the book into print.

      My research could not have been undertaken without countless librarians and archivists on both sides of the Atlantic. I am particularly indebted to the following representatives and their staff: Kristina Unger, Nationalarchiv der Richard-Wagner-Stiftung, Bayreuth; Marie-Luise Adlung, Geheimes Staatsarchiv Preußischer Kulturbesitz, and Martina Rebmann, Musikabteilung der Staatsbibiliothek, Berlin; Rainer Maaß, Hessisches Staatsarchiv, and Silvia Uhlemann, Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek Darmstadt; Ann Kersting-Meuleman, Universitätsbibliothek Frankfurt; Gerald Köhler, Theaterwissenschaftliche Sammlung der Universität Köln; Sabine Kurth, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, and Markus Schmalzl, Bayerisches Hauptstaatsarchiv, Munich; Andrea Harrandt, Österreichische Nationalbibliothek, and Irmgard Pangerl, Haus-, Hof- und Staatsarchiv, Vienna; Bérengère de l’Epine, Bibliothèque Historique de la Ville, Magali Lacousse, Archives nationales, and Pierre Vidal, Bibliothèque-musée de l’Opéra, Paris; Mariagrazia Carlone, Archivio Storico Civico e Biblioteca Trivulziana, and Matteo Sartorio, Museo Teatrale alla Scala, Milan; Giovanna Caridei, Archivio di Stato, Naples; Gavin Dixon, Horniman Museum, London; Tara Craig, Rare Book & Manuscript Library, Columbia University, New York; and Christina Linklater, Loeb Music Library, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts.

      Personally, curtains, gongs, and steam have accompanied me through both the happiest and the most challenging times of my life. The book would not have taken its present shape without the loving support I encountered along the way. I am indebted to Shakur for the time we had; Jonah and Zachary for opening their worlds to me, and keeping them open (those Minecraft axes are for you); Elizabeth, Eve, Jaia, Leah, Lisa, Nora, and Penelope for caring like sisters; Mother Clare (now dearly missed), Christine, Johanna, Lucille, and Michael for their wisdom and time; Benjamin, Eric, Jackie, Jessamyn, Ryan, and Yuval for standing by in NYC; my parents, Arthur and Gisela, for their wholehearted backing in every possible way; and Anselm and Britta with Milla and Lale for so joyfully embracing me as an auntie. My own aunt Barbara has graced my life with her ongoing interest in my scholarly pursuits and, even more, with her empathy, her ability to listen without judgment, and her spiritual resonance. It is to her and her quiet love that I dedicate this book in gratitude.
