Klappentext zu „From Madrigal to Opera “
Madrigal and opera are the two genres that dominate early baroque music studies. Madrigals were the staging ground for crucial innovations in musical structure and harmony, and had strong links to the humanistic literary culture of the Renaissance. Opera, a new genre at this time, is also the object of perpetual fascination, for its inherent dramatic interest, as well as its important role in the history of music. Calcagnos book focuses on Monteverdi, who wrote both madrigals and operas, to explore how new ideas about performance and role-playing by singers link these genres. Opera quickly became professionalized; madrigals were intended for performance by skilled amateurs. But madrigals often told stories with readily identifiable characters; thus both amateur and professional singers were partaking of new ideas about role-playing and drama. His theses about dramatic singing are then mapped onto current stagings of Monteverdi, showing how many ideas about performance that originated in the early Baroque are still with us.

Rezension zu „From Madrigal to Opera “
"In this bold, highly original book, Mauro Calcagno ventures into areas where no other scholar has tread. He explores the Petrarchian view of the self over a century-long arc from the early madrigal to the beginnings of opera, with Monteverdi's masterpieces taking center stage. A brilliant tour de force, From Madrigal to Opera proffers a remarkable new way to look at music, performance, and reception that rings true not only for the early modern period but also for our own age. A must read for scholars, performers, and lovers of early music." - Jane A. Bernstein, author of Print Culture and Music in Sixteenth-Century Venice
