Italy was the birthplace of opera. In this authoritative and
accessible account of Italian opera, David Kimbell introduces the
composers and dramatists, the singers and audiences who, over three
hundred years, have created not only a national tradition but the
central tradition from which others have drawn their inspiration.
He traces the history of Italian opera from its origins in the
humanism of the Renaissance to Puccini in the early twentieth
century, drawing attention not only to musical issues but also to
the social, literary, and philosophical ideas that have shaped
modern Italian civilisation. Each part is illustrated by a detailed
critical discussion of a key work.
