Anselm Gerhard explores the origins of grand opéra, arguing that its aesthetic innovations (both musical and theatrical) reflected not bourgeois tastes, but changes in daily life and psychological outlook produced by the rapid urbanization of Paris. These larger urban and social concerns--crucial to our understanding of nineteenth-century opera--are brought to bear in fascinating discussions of eight operas composed by Rossini, Auber, Meyerbeer, Verdi, and Louise Bertin.
"An invaluable look at this fascinating genre."--George W. Loomis, Opera NewsLes informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.

Etat : New. Anselm Gerhard argues in this text that questions such as "why do so many operas end in suicide, murder, and death?" can only be answered by looking at life in the rapidly urbanized mid-19th-century Paris, which introduced new social forces, and also new modes of perception and expectations of art.
