The National Court Theatre in Mozart's Vienna provides a valuable
context for Mozart's career as an opera composer in Vienna by
investigating the operation of the court theatre under Emperors
Joseph II and Leopold II. The author brings together a large number
of hitherto unavailable archival sources, namely the diary of Count
Karl Zinzendorf (from which transcriptions have been made of all
passages that address the music and theatre in Vienna from Easter
1783 to Easter 1792); theatre account books (with transcriptions of
payment records for all the salaried performing personnel as well
as the semi-annual lists of subscribers to the boxes in the
theatre); and the theatre posters, almanacs, newspapers, and
records kept by the theatre administration, which have been
compiled by the author into a performance calendar. The final
section of the book rounds out the picture of Josephinian theatre
with a discussion of the theatre's management and an analysis of
the attendance figures.
