Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book brings back to light the story of Pietro Pariati, a forgotten poet and leading reformer of Italian-language melodramas and operas in the early 1700s. Having fallen into obscurity despite the praise of his work by contemporaries, the author aims to shed new light on Pariati's life and contributions, placing him within the context of his fellow opera reformers, such as Apostolo Zeno and the later Metastasio, who called him one of the best melodramatic poets of the Viennese court. Through the study of hitherto unexamined archival material, the book unveils the reasons for Pariati's fall from grace at the court of the Duke of Modena and his subsequent flight to Venice, where he began his collaboration with Zeno. By analyzing Pariati's many and varied poetic works and his role in the development of the melodramatic genre, the book sheds new light on the evolution of Italian opera. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781334184475_0
