Paul Rodmell

Opera in the British Isles, 1875-1918

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

While the musical culture of the British Isles in the 'long nineteenth century' has been reclaimed from obscurity by musicologists in the last thirty years, appraisal of operatic culture in the latter part of this period has remained elusive. Paul Rodmell examines the nature of operatic culture in the British Isles during this period, looking at the way in which opera was produced and 'consumed' by companies and audiences, the repertory performed, social attitudes to opera, the activities of touring companies, and the position of British composers within this realm of activity.
