More about this course
- In this course we examine operas from 1600 to today and discuss not only how musical and dramatic elements convey a story and characters' emotions, but also (and perhaps more importantly) elements such as the social and political questions raised by the works, including racial and gender issues; the environment they were created in and for; and the status of musicians, impresarios, and theater managers
- We pay particular attention to how these works were perceived and what messages, overt or covert, they conveyed to the original intended audience
- We then unpack what they might have to offer today's American audience and whether they ought to be still performed on our stages and, if so, in what form
