A Sociable Moment: Opera and Festive Culture in Baroque Siena
Reardon, Colleen (, Claire Trevor School of the Arts, University of California, Irvine)
A Sociable Moment is the first book to examine the rise of opera in Siena during the Baroque. It focuses both on opera as a manifestation of civic self-fashioning and sociability, especially in pastoral works promoted by the expatriate Chigi family, and opera as business under the impresario Girolamo Gigli.
