Reading notes
- A Contract for the Year 1884, Concluded with Mankind §6 The Bells of Corneville
Les Cloches de Corneville, Robert Planquette's hugely popular 1877 French operetta, a fixture of Russian theaters in the early 1880s; its ticket receipts appear here as another absurd line-item in the piece's mock ledger.
- The Death of a Government Clerk §1 The Bells of Corneville
Robert Planquette's hugely popular 1877 French operetta, a fixture on Russian stages in the early 1880s -- the kind of frothy, undemanding entertainment that makes Chervyakov's sneeze-triggered catastrophe all the more disproportionate.
