‎Summary Mapping Artistic Networks provides a new critical overview of the circulation of the Italian theatre and opera across Europe in the eighteenth century. Performed as an extension of imperial celebrations, coronations, weddings, and masquerades, Italian theatre and opera provided scripts for the representation of political power and became an expressive metonym for the Bourbon monarchs, Austrian Habsburgs, Saxon electors in Poland, Prussian rulers and Russian emperors. They employed theatre as a political tool that magnified their victories and fashioned their courts as theatre and made theatre part of their courts. From Munich to Vienna, from Madrid to St Petersburg, from Dresden to Stockholm, there was seldom a court that did not employ Italian-born artists, musicians, singers, and theatre engineers. The volume furnishes valuable information and substantive new analysis on both Italian plays and operas performed throughout various European courts and the mobility of theatre professionals. The essays critically assess how the italianit , the notion we use in the sense of the image of otherness that Europeans wished to assimilate and musical style, were defined but also challenged through the productions of Italian theatre and opera abroad and their encounters with national traditions. The collection aims to contribute to a broader discussion of cultural transfer and transmission of artistic practices in music and theatre, and migrations of artists and texts across the continent, while also exploring for the first time the East of Europe.

‎, Brepols, 2021 Hardback, xiv + 562 pages, Size:210 x 270 mm, Illustrations:25 b/w, Language(s):English, Spanish, French. ISBN 9782503595436.‎

‎Summary This volume addresses the complex variety of stage works with sung and spoken sections, such as vaudeville , singspiel , op ra-comique , zarzuela or operetta in different European countries from the eighteenth century to the beginning of the Twenties. Beyond a multifaceted perspective, twenty-one essays investigate the nature of these musical theatre forms, attending their origins, literary sources, relationships, vocality or cultural transfers, features that in some cases have made them become a mass phenomenon. The dissemination and adaptation of these genres through different national contexts, confirms the significance of the long-standing relationship between them and the contemporary dramatical and musical repertoire, revealing significant synergies, always conditioned by the market evolution.
