"By the middle of the twentieth century, Joseph Kerman had had no major qualms by giving the headline "The Dark Ages" to one of the chapters of his book, Opera and Drama. By this, he meant the period between Monteverdi and Gluck. Granted, the expression may have been chosen cum grano salis, and Kerman then seemed to moderate his claim, stressing that this period was also "the great age of opera." Song, music, stage design, the "enormous" amount of libretti, all this testified of an "unbelievable development and unbelievable activity." During the Baroque era, the ink of their scores barely dried, operas were staged in an overwhelming cadence, be it on the Italian theaters or elsewhere in Europe. This led to the rise of a "star-system" dominated by the cults of the castrato and the "prima donna." The era also saw the advent of operatic spectacularity through the use of extravagant machineries. But in the end, once an opera had lived through a few performances, it was then "thrown away The Cambridge Companion to Seventeenth-Century Opera is a much-needed introduction to one of the most defining areas of Western music history - the birth of opera and its developments during the first century of its existence. From opera's Italian foundations to its growth through Europe and the Americas, the volume charts the changing landscape - on stage and beyond - which shaped the way opera was produced and received. With a range from opera's sixteenth-century antecedents to the threshold of the eighteenth century, this path breaking book is broad enough to function as a comprehensive introduction, yet sufficiently detailed to offer valuable insights into most of early opera's many facets; it guides the reader towards authoritative written and musical sources appropriate for further study. It will be of interest to a wide audience, including undergraduate and graduate students in universities and equivalent institutions, and amateur and professional musicians.
