(Dis)embodying Myths in Ancien Rgime Opera: Multidisciplinary Perspectives,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Throughout the Ancien Rgime, mythology played a vital role in opera, defining such epochmaking works as Claudio Monteverdi's La favola dOrfeo (1607) and Christoph Glucks Iphignie en Tauride (1779). The operatic presence of the GrecoRoman gods and heroes was anything but unambiguous or unproblematic, however. (Dis)embodying Myths in Ancien Rgime Opera highlights myths chameleonic life in the Italian dramma per musica and French tragdie en musique of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.Written by eminent scholars in the fields of music, literature, theater, and cultural studies, the six chapters of this book address a series of important questions: Through what ideological lenses did the Ancien Rgime perceive an ancient legacy that was fundamentally pagan and fictitious, as opposed to Christian and rationalistic? What dramaturgies did librettists and composers devise to adapt mythical topics to altering philosophical and aesthetic doctrines? Were the ancients precepts obeyed or precisely overridden by the age of 'classicism? And how could myths be made to fit changing modes of spectatorship? (Dis)embodying Myths in Ancien Rgime Opera will appeal to all music, literature, and art lovers seeking to deepen their knowledge of an increasingly popular repertoire.Contributors: G.
