Synopsis
History Of The Opera by Henry Sutherland Edwards presents a sweeping history of opera from its Italian origins to later European developments. The work surveys early Italian musical drama, the transformation of opera into a full theatrical form, and the spread of opera across Europe, including Italy, Germany, France, and England. It discusses pioneers such as Monteverdi and Peri, the Florentine origins of opera, the emergence of recitative, the growth of orchestras, and the evolution of opera as a serious art under composers like Gluck and Mozart. The book also covers the French tradition under Lulli and Rameau, the English reception under Handel, Davenant, and Purcell, and the Viennese and Dresden schools. It provides portraits of celebrated singers and librettists, anecdotes about court patronage and theatre customs, and reflections on opera’s place in musical and dramatic culture. The narrative, although not a strict academic treatise, aims to illuminate the development and diverse reception of opera across Europe.
