Foreign Opera at the London Playhouses: From Mozart to Bellini - Cambridge Studies in Opera
Fuhrmann, Christina (Ashland University, Ohio)
In the early nineteenth century over forty operas by foreign composers, including Mozart, Rossini, Weber and Bellini, were adapted for London playhouses. This is the first comprehensive study of these adaptations. Christina Fuhrmann reveals how integral these operas are to our understanding of early nineteenth-century theatre, opera and canon formation.
