The subject of this book, edited by Lorenzo Frassa, is the Opera-comique as an art form, compositional genre, institution and production process. The volume will consist of a close examination of the genre of the Opera-comique and the great masterpieces and artists who have sustained this form of musical theatre and prevented it from falling into oblivion. The freedom given to authors in selecting the subject of their contribution has made it possible to bring together subjects that appear disparate, but which are in fact complementary and indispensable to all who wish to investigate the Opera-comique's varying facets, and also receive a comprehensive overview. The collection of essays encompasses the heterogeneous world of institutions, traditions, works and composers that can be assimilated into the frame of "Opera-comique."
In Music and Cosmopolitanism, Cristina Magaldi examines music making in a past globalized world. This volume focuses on one city, Rio de Janeiro, and how it became part of a larger world through music and performance. Magaldi describes a process of creating connections beyond national borders, one that is familiar to contemporary city residents, but which was already dominant at the turn of the 20th century, as new technological developments led to alternative ways of making and experiencing music.

Dass heutige Konzertbesucher mithilfe des gedruckten Programms über die aufgeführten Werke möglichst genau informiert werden, ist das Ergebnis einer langen Entwicklung. Während um 1800 Programmzettel lediglich mitteilten, es werde eine?Symphonie von Haydn? oder ein?Konzert auf der Violine? aufgeführt, wurden die Ankündigungen in Konzertprogrammen im Laufe des 19. Jahrhunderts allmählich um die auch heute noch üblichen Angaben wie Tonarten, Nummern, Opuszahlen oder Satzbezeichnungen ergänzt.
