Metastasio's libretti
are somewhat propagandist in support of Emperor
Charles VI, there is a
lacuna in the research that attempts to prove the
point and explain
exactly how. This book addresses the role of
Metastasio's libretti in
eighteenth-century literary and aristocratic society.
The purpose of this
book is to illustrate how Metastasio intentionally
alluded to specific
contemporary political events relevant to Charles VI
in his libretto "La
clemenza di Tito" in order to gain favor with the
emperor and subtly
influence public opinion in support of his patron
through his musical
drama. This book is a valuable resource for stage
directors, opera
lovers, and anyone interested in Metastasio's poetry
and its veiled
meaning in the context of eighteenth-century European
politics.
