Item description from seller

Paperback. A microcosm of busy operatic life during the reign of the enlightened King Stanislaw August Poniatowski (r. 176495), Warsaw reveals complex processes and entanglements affecting dissemination of opera in the late eighteenth century. To the fun-loving city torn by whimsical contradictions, imported as well as domestic opera provided attractive and increasingly accessible urban entertainment, while also serving important utilitarian functions prescribed by local initiatives. Warsaw's participation in transnational circulations of works and performers encompasses both ideological and pragmatic factors that had far-reaching consequences not only for the city itself but also for Europe's shared cultural space. This Element shows Warsaw's life during King Stanislaw August Poniatowski's reign and showcases processes affecting opera dissemination in the late 18th century. Opera offered urban entertainment and served local utilitarian functions. Warsaw's participation in transnational circulations had significant consequences for the city and Europe.
