Ketterer -- Envoicing the divine : oracles in lyric and spoken drama in seventeenth-century France / Geoffrey Burgess -- Addressing the divine : the 'numinous' accompagnato in opera seria / Bruno Forment -- Iphigenia's curious Menange à trois in myth, drama, and opera / Reinhard Strohm -- Spectatorship and involvement in Gluck's Iphigenie en Tauride / Bram van Oostveldt.Throughout the Ancien Regime, mythology played a vital role in opera, defining such epoch-making works as Claudio Monteverdi's 'La favola d'Orfeo' (1607) and Christoph Gluck's 'Iphigenie en Tauride' (1779). The operatic presence of the Greco-Roman gods and heroes was anything but unambiguous or unproblematic, however. This book highlights myth's chameleonic life in the Italian 'dramma per musica' and French 'tragedie en musique' of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.Disembodying myths in Ancien Régime operaMythology, Classical, in operaOperaFrance17th centuryOperaFrance18th centuryOperaItalyElectronic books.Mythology, Classical, in opera.OperaOperaOpera782.10944Forment Bruno890769MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910462054103321Dis)embodying myths in Ancien Régime opera1989817UNINA
