The Operatic State examines the cultural, financial, and political
investments that have gone into the maintenance of opera and opera
houses in Europe, the USA and Australia. It analyses opera's nearly
immutable form throughout wars, revolutions, and vast social
changes throughout the world. Bereson argues that by legitimising
the power of the state through universally recognised ceremonial
ritual, opera enjoys a privileged status across three continents,
often to the detriment of popular and indigenous art forms.
