By examining theoretical debates about the nature of
nineteenth-century German opera and analyzing the genre's
development and its international dissemination, this book shows
German opera's entanglement with national identity formation. The
thorough study of German opera debates in the first half of the
nineteenth century highlights the esthetic and ideological
significance of this relatively neglected repertoire, and helps to
contextualize Richard Wagner's attempts to define German opera and
to gain a reputation as the German opera composer par excellence.
By interpreting Wagner's esthetic endeavors as a continuation of
previous campaigns for the emancipation of German opera, this book
adds an original and significant perspective to discussions about
Wagner's relation to German nationalism.
