The Cambridge Companion to Seventeenth-Century Opera is a
much-needed introduction to one of the most defining areas of
Western music history - the birth of opera and its developments
during the first century of its existence. From opera's Italian
foundations to its growth through Europe and the Americas, the
volume charts the changing landscape - on stage and beyond - which
shaped the way opera was produced and received. With a range from
opera's sixteenth-century antecedents to the threshold of the
eighteenth century, this path breaking book is broad enough to
function as a comprehensive introduction, yet sufficiently detailed
to offer valuable insights into most of early opera's many facets;
it guides the reader towards authoritative written and musical
sources appropriate for further study. It will be of interest to a
wide audience, including undergraduate and graduate students in
universities and equivalent institutions, and amateur and
professional musicians.
