Résumé

In this fascinating and accessible exploration of the world of grand opera, a team of operatic scholars and writers examine those important Romantic operas which embraced the Shakespearean sweep of tragedy, history, love in time of conflict, and the struggle for national self-determination. The book traces the origins and development of a style created during an increasingly technical age, which exploited the world-renowned skills of Parisian stage-designers, artists and dancers, as well as singers.
It analyses in detail the grand operas of Rossini, Auber, Meyerbeer and Halévy, and discusses Wagner, Russia, the Czech lands, Italy, Britain and the Americas. It also includes an essay by the renowned opera director David Pountney.
