Since its beginnings, opera has depended on recognition as a
central aspect of both plot and theme. Though a standard feature of
opera, recognition - a moment of new awareness that brings about a
crucial reversal in the action - has been largely neglected in
opera studies. In Recognition in Mozart's Operas, musicologist
Jessica Waldoff draws on a broad base of critical thought on
recognition from Aristotle to Terence Cave to explore the essential
role it plays in Mozart's operas. The result is a fresh approach to
the familiar question of opera as drama and a persuasive new
reading of Mozart's operas.
