Reflecting a wide variety of approaches to eighteenth-century

opera, this Companion brings together leading international experts

in the field to provide a valuable reference source. Viewing opera

as a complex and fascinating form of art and social ritual, rather

than reducing it simply to music and text ***ysis, individual

essays investigate ***ects such as audiences, architecture of the

theaters, marketing, acting style, and the politics and strategy of

representing class and gender. Overall, the volume provides a

synthesis of well established knowledge, reflects recent research

on eighteenth-century opera, and stimulates further research. The

reader is encouraged to view opera as a cultural phenomenon that

can reveal ***ects of our culture, both past and present.

Eighteenth-century opera is experiencing continuing critical and

popular success through innovative and provoking producti***

world-wide, and this Companion will appeal to opera goers as well

as to students and teachers of this key topic.
