In this first detailed study of seventeenth-century sepolcri-sacred
operas written for court performance on Holy Thursday and Good
Friday-Robert L. Kendrick delves into the political and artistic
world of Habsburg Vienna, in which music and ritual combined on the
stage to produce a thoroughly original art form based on devotion
to Christ's Tomb. Through the use of allegorical characters, the
musical dramas ranged from the devotionally intense, to the
theologically complex, to the ugly anti-Jewish, but played a unique
role in making Passion piety relevant to wider cultural concerns.
Fruits of the Cross suggests that understanding the sepolcri has
implications for the theatricalization of devotion, the power of
allegory, the role of queenship in court ideology, the interplay
between visuality and music, and not least the intellectual
centrality of music theater to court self-understanding.
