From the outset, French opera generated an enormous diversity of
literature, familiarity with which greatly enhances our
understanding of this unique art form. Yet relatively little of
that literature is available in English, despite an upsurge of
interest in the Lully-Rameau period during the past two decades.
This book presents a wide-ranging and informative picture of the
organization and evolution of French Baroque opera, its aims and
aspirations, its strengths and weaknesses. Drawing on official
documents, theoretical writings, letters, diaries, dictionary
entries, contemporary reviews and commentaries, it provides an
often entertaining insight into Lully's once-proud Royal Academy of
Music and the colourful characters who surrounded it. The
translated passages are set in context, and readers are directed to
further scholarly and critical writings in English. Readers will
find this new, updated edition easier to use with its revised and
expanded translations, supplementary explanatory content and new
illustrations.
