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.
