Book excerpt: Excerpt from Maritana: Opera in Three Acts At the commencement of the Second Act, we find D011 Caesar asleep in prison, while the boy Lazarillo watches near him. Don Caasar is condemned to die at seven, and the hands of the clock point to five as he awakes but two hours' l1fe remain to him yet he is gay, and ridicules all attempts to condole with him. Don J ose now enters, and, professing friendship for Don Caesar, makes a proposition to him whereby his wish to die a. Soldier' s death may be gratified on one condition - namely, that he shall marry! The alternative is to be hanged like a dog, or be married, and afterwards shot like a gentleman. For the last - named privilege, Don Caesar consents to suffer matrimony for an hour and three quarters. The Don assumes gay apparel for his wedding, and partakes of a banquet 111 honor of his nuptials. The preparations for his execution in military style proceed, but Lazarillo adroitly abstracts the messengers of death. At length, the hour arrives, and Don Caesar is led forth to be shot, as the scene 'changes to a saloon in the Palace Montefiori, in which a festival is at its height. In the midst of the revelry, a volley of musketry is heard at a distance this startles the guests, but the dance is soon resumed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Opera has always been a vital and complex mixture of commercial and aesthetic concerns, of bourgeois politics and elite privilege. In its long heyday in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, it came to occupy a special place not only among the arts but in urban planning, too — this is, perhaps surprisingly, often still the case. The Oxford Handbook of the Operatic Canon examines how opera has become the concrete edifice it was never meant to be, by tracing its evolution from a market entirely driven by novelty to one of the most canonic art forms still in existence. Throughout the book, a lively assembly of musicologists, historians, and industry professionals tackle key questions of opera's past, present, and future. Why did its canon evolve so differently from that of concert music? Why do its top ten titles, all more than a century old, now account for nearly a quarter of all performances worldwide? Why is this system of production becoming still more top-heavy, even while the repertory seemingly expands, notably to include early music? Topics range from the seventeenth century to the present day, from Russia to England and continental Europe to the Americas. To reflect the contested nature of many of them, each is addressed in paired chapters. These complement each other in different ways: by treating the same geographical location in different periods, by providing different national or regional perspectives on the same period, or by thinking through similar conceptual issues in contrasting or changing contexts. Posing its questions in fresh, provocative terms, The Oxford Handbook of the Operatic Canon challenges scholarly assumptions in music and cultural history, and reinvigorates the dialogue with an industry that is, despite everything, still growing.
