This book asks what theological messages theologically educated
Catholics in late-eighteenth-century Prague might have perceived in
Mozart's late opera seria La clemenza di Tito. The book's thesis is
two-fold: first, that Catholics might have heard the opera's
advocacy of enlightened absolutism as a celebration of a distinctly
Catholic understanding of political governance; and second, that
they might have found in the opera a metaphor for the relationship
between a gracious God and humanity caught up in sin, expressed as
sexual concupiscence, pride, and lust for power. The book develops
its interpretation of the opera through narrative character
analyses of the main protagonists, an examination of their dramatic
development, and by paying attention to the biblical and
theological associations they may have evoked in a Catholic
audience. The book is geared towards academic readers interested in
opera, theologians, historians, and those who work at the
intersection of theology and the arts. It contributes to a better
understanding of the theological implications of Mozart's operatic
work.
