Description
Opera, a History of the Impossible Genre offers an accessible and chronological survey of opera.
Beginning in the 16th century, each chapter hones its focus on a representative opera and composer, and provides discussion on historical and political context. With further reading lists, key term definitions and composer biographies to support learning, this book covers the fundamental elements of the genre, including: subject matter, musical structure, aria and ensemble forms, singing styles, orchestra and the structure of the libretto. The book will also help readers develop an appreciation of opera as a form of musical entertainment which, despite seemingly insurmountable financial, philosophical, and artistic hurdles, has overcome the "impossible" to become one of the most popular and thrilling types of music heard on stage today.
Opera, a History of the Impossible Genre is an approachable undergraduate textbook for students of opera and survey courses.
