Through what ideological lenses did the Ancien Regime perceive an ancient legacy that was fundamentally pagan and fictitious, as opposed to Christian and rationalistic? What dramaturgies did librettists and composers devise to adapt mythical topics to altering philosophical and esthetic doctrines? Were the ancients' precepts obeyed or precisely overridden by the age of 'classicism'? And how could myths be made to fit changing modes of spectatorship?Enlightening and wide-ranging on an essentially multidisciplinary development in European culture,(Dis)embodying Myths in Ancien Regime Operawill appeal to all music, literature, and art lovers seeking to deepen their knowledge of an increasingly popular repertoire.This publication is GPRC-labeled (Guaranteed Peer-Reviewed Content).
