This addition to the Cambridge Opera Handbooks series is also the
first full-length study of Mozart's Die Entfuhrung aus dem Serail.
It aims to familiarize the reader with all aspect of the work:
Mozart's writing of the opera and its literary antecedents, its
plot, its musical structure, its reception and performance history.
The reader will find much that is new in Thomas Bauman's study. He
discusses the opera in relation to other Oriental operas, in the
light of eighteenth-centruy apprehensions of the East, and as an
attempt to reconcile the conventions of German opera in the early
1780s with Viennese taste and Mozart's own maturing operatic
aesthetic. The text is well illustrated with pictures and music
examples and a full discography lists the available recordings of
the opera. This will be essential reading for all who have an
interest in Mozart's operas, whether as student, scholar or
opera-lover.
