Chronological List of German Theatrical Works with Magic & Supernatural Content, 1728-92 --Bibliography --IndexDrawing on hundreds of operas, singspiels, ballets, and plays with supernatural themes, Magic Flutes and Enchanted Forests argues that the tension between fantasy and Enlightenment-era rationality shaped some of the most important works of eighteenth-century musical theatre and profoundly influenced how audiences and critics responded to them. David J. Buch reveals that despite-and even because of-their fundamental irrationality, fantastic and exotic themes acquired extraordinary force and popularity during the period, pervading theatrical works with music in the French, German, and Italian.Musical theaterEuropeHistory18th centuryMusical theaterZauberflöteMusical theaterHistory18th centuryEuropeSupernatural in musical theaterMusic and magicMusic History & Criticism, VocalHILCCMusicHILCCMusic, Dance, Drama & FilmHILCCsupernatural, 18th century, musicals, musical theater, theatre, performance, performer, song, dance, singing, dancing, acting, actor, actress, stage, theatrical, opera, singspiel, genre, play, ballet, themes, enlightenment, fantasy, era, time period, composer, playwright, art, artistic, entertainment, critics, audience, french, france, german, germany, italian, italy, magic flute, don giovanni, mozart.Musical theaterHistoryMusical theater.ZauberflöteMusical theaterHistorySupernatural in musical theaterMusic and magicMusic History & Criticism, VocalMusicMusic, Dance, Drama & Film782.109/033782.109033LR 54171rvkBuch David J.authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1522764DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910778059803321Magic Flutes and Enchanted Forests3762639UNINA
