Monteverdi's Last Operas: A Venetian Trilogy
Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643) was the first important composer of opera. This innovative study by one of the foremost experts on Monteverdi and seventeenth-century opera examines the composer's celebrated final works—Il ritorno d'Ulisse (1640) and L'incoronazione di Poppea (1642)—from a new perspective. Ellen Rosand considers these works as not merely a pair but constituents of a trio, a Venetian trilogy that, Rosand argues, properly includes a third opera, Le nozze d'Enea (1641). Although its music has not survived, its chronological placement between the other two operas opens new prospects for better understanding all three, both in their specifically Venetian context and as the crea...
The Oxford Illustrated History of Opera
A historical survey of opera, from its beginnings in Florence 400 years ago, up to opera in the 1990s.
Ancient Rome in Early Opera
The major historians of ancient Rome wrote their works in the firm belief that the exalted history of the Roman Empire provided plentiful lessons about individual behavior, inspiration for great souls, and warnings against evil ambitions, not to mention opportunities for rich comedy. The examples of Rome have often been resurrected for the opera stage to display the exceptional grandeur, glory, and tragedy of Roman figures. In this volume, Robert C. Ketterer tracks the changes as operas’ Roman subjects crossed generations and national boundaries. Following opera from its origins in seventeenth-century Venice to Napoleon’s invasion of Italy, Ketterer shows how Roman history provided composers with all the necessary courage and intrigue, love and honor, and triumph and defeat so vital for the stirring music that makes great opera.
The Politics of Opera
A wide-ranging look at the interplay of opera and political ideas through the centuries The Politics of Opera takes readers on a fascinating journey into the entwined development of opera and politics, from the Renaissance through the turn of the nineteenth century. What political backdrops have shaped opera? How has opera conveyed the political ideas of its times? Delving into European history and thought and music by such greats as Monteverdi, Lully, Rameau, and Mozart, Mitchell Cohen reveals how politics—through story lines, symbols, harmonies, and musical motifs—has played an operatic role both robust and sotto voce. This is an engrossing book that will interest all who love opera and are intrigued by politics.
The Oxford Handbook of Opera
Fifty of the world's most respected scholars cast opera as a fluid entity that continuously reinvents itself in a reflection of its patrons, audience, and creators.
DAVID COPPERFIELD - VOLIII
Finalmente, ebbi una risposta dalle due vecchie signorine. Esse mandavano i loro saluti al signor Copperfield, e lo informavano d’aver letto attentamente la sua lettera «tenendo di mira la felicità delle due parti» – frase che mi sembrò poco rassicurante, non, solo per l’uso da esse fattone relativamente alle discrepanze familiari già ricordate, ma perché avevo (ed ho in tutta la vita) osservato che i termini convenzionali sono una specie di razzi, i quali, facilmente accesi, assumono alla fine una gran varietà di forme e di colori che non s’immaginavano al primo scoppio. Le signorine Spenlow aggiungevano di credere di non poter esprimere, «per iscritto», una opinione rispettivame...
