This 2003 Companion is a fascinating and accessible exploration

of the world of grand opera. Through this volume a team of scholars

and writers on opera examine those important Romantic operas which

embraced the Shakespearean sweep of tragedy, history, love in time

of conflict, and the struggle for national self-determination.

Rival nations, rival religions and violent resolutions are common

elements, with various social or political groups represented in

the form of operatic choruses. The book traces the origins and

development of a style created during an increasingly technical

age, which exploited the world-renowned skills of Parisian

stage-designers, artists, and dancers as well as singers. It

analyses in detail the grand operas by Rossini, Auber, Meyerbeer

and Halévy, discusses grand opera in Russia and Germany, and also

in the Czech lands, Italy, Britain and the Americas. The volume

also includes an essay by the renowned opera director David

Pountney.
