Opera in Seventeenth-Century Venice: The Creation of a Genre Paperback - 2007 - 1st Edition
by Ellen Rosand
From the rear cover
"In this elegantly constructed study of the early decades of public opera, the conflicts and cooperation of poets, composers, managers, designers, and singers--producing the art form that was soon to sweep the world and that has been dominant ever since--are revealed in their first freshness."--Andrew Porter
"This will be a standard work on the subject of the rise of Venetian opera for decades. Rosand has provided a decisive contribution to the reshaping of the entire subject. . . . She offers a profoundly new view of baroque opera based on a solid documentary and historical-critical foundation. The treatment of the artistic self-consciousness and professional activities of the librettists, impresarios, singers, and composers is exemplary, as is the examination of their reciprocal relations. This work will have a positive effect not only on studies of 17th-century, but on the history of opera in general."--Lorenzo Bianconi
