Some Famous People called John Rich

John Rich (producer)

alt=John Rich, as shown in the catalogue raisonné of William Hogarth|thumb|John Rich, as shown in the catalogue raisonné of William Hogarthright|thumb|Rich as Harlequin, c. 1720John Rich (1692–1761) was an important director and theatre manager in 18th-century London. He opened The New Theatre at Lincoln's Inn Fields (1714), which he managed until he opened the Theatre Royal, Covent Garden (1732). He managed Covent Garden until 1761, putting on ever more lavish productions. He introduced pantomime to the English stage and played a dancing and mute Harlequin himself from 1717 to 1760 under the stage name of "Lun." Rich's version of the servant character, Arlecchino, moved away from the poor, disheveled, loud, and crude character, to a colorfully-dressed, silent Harlequin, performing fanciful tricks, dances and magic. The British idea of the Harlequin character was heavily inspired by Rich's idea of a silent character. Rich's choice of being a silent character was influenced by his unappealing voice, which he was well aware of. Source: John Rich (producer), Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia
