A wide-ranging look at the interplay of opera and political ideas
through the centuries The Politics of Opera takes readers on a
fascinating journey into the entwined development of opera and
politics, from the Renaissance through the turn of the nineteenth
century. What political backdrops have shaped opera? How has opera
conveyed the political ideas of its times? Delving into European
history and thought and music by such greats as Monteverdi, Lully,
Rameau, and Mozart, Mitchell Cohen reveals how politics-through
story lines, symbols, harmonies, and musical motifs-has played an
operatic role both robust and sotto voce. This is an engrossing
book that will interest all who love opera and are intrigued by
politics.
