Behind all the essays is a mixture of fascination and dissatisfaction with today's performances of drama and opera classics, particularly those that take place in historic theatres, and those operating within the so-called Historically Informed Performance movement. The essays reflect a desire to develop and expand the methods traditionally used by theatre historians. And they present a variety of angles on today's performances in historic theatres and on today's attempts to revive theatrical practices of the past. The anthology is essential reading for theatre scholars and musicolo­gists studying eighteenth-century performance as well as for theatre and opera artists concerned with period performance practice.TheaterHistoryTheaterHistory.792.0Wagner MeikeSchneider Magnus TessingNjHacINjHaclBOOK9910733198703321Performing the Eighteenth Century3396807UNINA
