Viewing opera as a complex and fascinating form of art and social ritual, rather than reducing it simply to music and text analysis, individual essays investigate aspects such as audiences, architecture of the theaters, marketing, acting style, and the politics and strategy of representing class and gender. Overall, the volume provides a synthesis of well established knowledge, reflects recent research on eighteenth-century opera, and stimulates further research. The reader is encouraged to view opera as a cultural phenomenon that can reveal aspects of our culture, both past and present. Eighteenth-century opera is experiencing continuing critical and popular success through innovative and provoking productions world-wide, and this Companion will appeal to opera goers as well as to students and teachers of this key topic. 410 0$aCambridge companions to music. 606 $aOpera$y18th century 615 0$aOpera 676 $a782.109/033 702 $aDelDonna$b Anthony 702 $aPolzonetti$b Pierpaolo 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996210316103316 996 $aThe Cambridge companion to eighteenth-century opera$92577360 997 $aUNISA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
