About Harold Rosenthal
- Harold David Rosenthal OBE (30 September 1917 – 19 March 1987) was an English music critic, writer, lecturer, and broadcaster about opera.
- Originally a schoolmaster, he became drawn to music, particularly opera, and began working on musical publications.
- On the foundation of Opera magazine in London in 1950, Rosenthal was assistant editor, and became editor in 1953, retaining the post until 1986. He was a continual campaigner on behalf of opera, and was a strong opponent of its élitist image and inflated seat prices.
- In the early 1950s he was appointed archivist to the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, which led to his most substantial publication, Two Centuries of Opera at Covent Garden.
