 A Brief History of the Music Hall
The origins of Music Hall are found in a number of institutions which provided entertainment in the populous towns and cities of Britain in the 1830s.

 Albert Chevalier
Albert Chevalier Chevalier was not of the music hall, nor did he ever feel himself to belong there.
Good comic songs are to be found fairly readily, but, as is discussed elsewhere, songs of love and grief are nearly always so uncontrollably expressed that, although they could be taken seriously in their own time, they seem comically exaggerated to a later generation.
In view of Chevalier's attitude to the halls, it is a little surprising that he is able so well to get into the world about which he sings and to show such sympathetic understanding about it.
