Performed throughout Europe during the eighteenth century, Italian heroic opera, or opera seria, was the centurys most significant and popular musical art form, engaging such figures as Handel, Haydn, and Mozart. In Opera and Sovereignty, Martha Feldman takes a groundbreaking anthropological approach to the study of the genre. Employing a widely interdisciplinary argument that opera seria must be understood in light of the periods social and political upheavals, Opera and Sovereignty will continue to interest a broad range of scholars, from musicologists to historians of the Enlightenment.Opera and Sovereignty traces Italian operas shift from asserting sovereignty to fomenting questions about absolute ideals. Against the backdrop of eighteenthcentury Italian culture, Feldman shows how opera seria both reflected and affected the struggles of rulers to maintain sovereignty in an increasingly democratic world.A book of astounding breadth of subject matter, rich source materials, and provocative methodologies.Geoffrey Burgess, Current MusicologyOpera and Sovereignty is a massive achievement.Reinhard Strohm, Early Music
