"It was mid-December 1610 in Mexico City. The Church was in its preparatory season of Advent, leading up to the celebration of Christ's birth at Christmas. The nuns of the Encarnacion convent had just celebrated the feast of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary, on 8 December. But now, in this time usually filled with joy, some of the nuns were nervous. Their choirbooks were missing. Without them, the nuns would not be able to celebrate the anniversary of Christ's birth adequately. A musician priest of the metropolitan cathedral, located just three blocks from the convent, had caused the nuns' alarm: Antonio Rodríguez Mata (d. 1643) had all five of the missing books. He had borrowed...

Si. Juguemos. Juguemos como jugamos los adultos, no como juegan los ninos. Juguemos a este juego sucio que jugamos diariamente en nuestros encuentros. Pero que no sea un juego donde nos ocultemos. Este sera un juego en el bosque social en que nos movemos naturalmente donde la ambiguedad es la caracteristica basica. Esta ambiguedad senalada por el "todo vale." Nunca sabremos si este juego es verdadero o es un camino metaforico para llegar a una verdad que nunca aparecera. Nunca sabremos si esta obra es una comedia o una tragedia, porque las caracteristicas de una y de otra se iran alternando. Nunca sabremos si la comunicacion esta presente, si los personajes se aman, se odian, se aceptan o se rechazan. Como estaremos seguros de que la accion no surge de la memoria de un unico personaje? Como estaremos seguros de que los tiempos no se superponen?

Opera and musical theater dominated French culture in the 1800s, and the influential stage music that emerged from this period helped make Paris, as Walter Benjamin put it, the “capital of the nineteenth century.” The fullest account available of this artistic ferment and its international impact, Music, Theater, and Cultural Transfer explores the diverse institutions that shaped Parisian music and extended its influence across Europe, the Americas, and Australia. The contributors to this volume, who work in fields ranging from literature to theater to musicology, focus on the city’s musical theater scene as a whole rather than on individual theaters or repertories. Their broad range enables their collective examination of the ways in which all aspects of performance and reception were affected by the transfer of works, performers, and management models from one environment to another. By focusing on this interplay between institutions and individuals, the authors illuminate the tension between institutional conventions and artistic creation during the heady period when Parisian stage music reached its zenith.
