Part of the Tauris Transformations series

Paperback / softback

Item not Available

Description

This work concentrates on the texts and narratives of more than 30 major operas, analyzing their cultural implications in demonstrating how they have contributed to the construction of a popularized feminine identity.

It shows, for example, how 19th-century opera perpetuates a social order which requires either the death or the domestication of the female protagonist.
