The Gilded Stage: A Social History of Opera

The Gilded Stage: A Social History of Opera

Fascinating and highly readable, this is the definitiveÂ social history of the world's most romantic, flamboyant, glamorous, and politically influential art-form: opera
Â
From its beginnings in the Renaissance cities of northern ItalyÂ opera has permeated through Europe, America, and beyond, becoming a global business in the digital age. ThisÂ history unwraps the story of opera from the charm and chaos of Mozart's Vienna to Frederick the Great's Berlin.Â It covers the lure of fin-de-siÃ¨cle Paris, the rough and tumble of the Australian outback, and the new world of the Americasâ€”colorful backdrops to the always dramatic, sometimes tragic, sometimes hilarious episodes that make up this rich and fascinating story.
