German opera from its primitive origins up to Wagner is the subject
of this wide-ranging history. It traces the growth of the humble
Singspiel into a vehicle for the genius of Mozart and Beethoven,
together with the persistent attempts at German Grand Opera.
Seventeenth-century Hamburg opera, the role of the travelling
companies and Viennese Singspiel are all explored. Discussions that
from early days absorbed Germans concerned for the development of a
national art are followed, together with the influence of new
critical thought at the start of the nineteenth century. The many
operas studied are placed in their historical, social and
theatrical context, and attention is paid to the literary, artistic
and philosophical ideas that made them part of the country's
intellectual history. Warrack assesses the contributions of
Schubert, Mendelssohn and Schumann, as well as Weber and Hoffmann,
among others.
