Fascinating
and highly readable, this is the definitive social history of the
world's most romantic, flamboyant, glamorous, and politically
influential art-form: opera From its beginnings in the
Renaissance cities of northern Italy opera has permeated through Europe,
America, and beyond, becoming a global business in the digital age.
This history unwraps the story of opera from the charm and chaos of
Mozart's Vienna to Frederick the Great's Berlin. It covers the lure of
fin-de-siècle Paris, the rough and tumble of the Australian outback, and
the new world of the Americas—colorful backdrops to the always
dramatic, sometimes tragic, sometimes hilarious episodes that make up
this rich and fascinating story.
