Book Description:
|
Tcharos captures opera within the vibrant yet problematic context of late seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century Arcadian Rome. She reconstructs opera's critical turn by engaging opera within a larger cultural sphere, where tensions and relations with other musico-dramatic genres illuminate opera's revisionist role in social, political, and aesthetic conflicts.
