Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Presents an argument that eighteenth-century opera seria must be understood in light of the period's social and political upheavals. This book traces Italian opera's shift from a mythical assertion of sovereignty, with its festive forms and rituals, to a dramatic vehicle that increasingly questioned absolutist ideals.
MoreLong description:
Argues that eighteenth-century opera seria must be understood in light of the period's social and political upheavals. Taking an anthropological approach to European music that's as bold as it is unusual Martha Feldman traces Italian opera's shift from a mythical assertion of sovereignty with its festive forms and rituals. Feldman explains why the form had such great international success and how audience experiences of the period differed from ours today.; Ambitiously interdisciplinary "Opera and Sovereignty" will appeal not only to scholars of music and anthropology but also to those interested in theater dance and the history of the Enlightenment."
