The Cambridge Companion to Eighteenth-Century Opera（ISBN=9780521695381） 电子书 pdf 百度云 下载 epub 2025 免费 mobi 在线

Reflecting a wide variety of approaches to eighteenth-century

opera, this Companion brings together leading international experts

in the field to provide a valuable reference source. 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.
