Opera Buffa in Mozart's Vienna by Mary Hunter

Opera Buffa in Mozart's Vienna by Mary Hunter

This collection of essays, presented by an internationally known team of scholars, explores the world of Vienna and the development of opera buffa in the second half of the eighteenth century. Although today Mozart remains one of the most well-known figures of the period, the era was filled with composers, librettists, writers and performers who created and developed opera buffa. Among the topics examined are the relationship of Viennese opera buffa to French theatre; Mozart and eighteenth-century comedy; gender, nature and bourgeois society on Mozart's buffa stage; as well as close analyses of key works such as Don Giovanni and Le nozze di Figaro.

'… an enthralling collection of essays by a distinguished group of international scholars … will give any reader a deeper knowledge and understanding of Mozart's comic operas and of the genius who created them' Scenaria
