In this course, we will trace the history of opera from its festive origins in the courts of Northern Italy to its establishment as a preeminent genre of both art and entertainment in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. We will consider opera in multiple forms: as state-sponsored political art, as elite-supported high art, as commercial theater, and the many cases in which these registers overlapped. We will examine the musical, literary, and theatrical style of major genres of Baroque and Classical opera, including Venetian public opera, French tragédie en musique and opéra-ballet, opera seria, opera buffa, reform opera and Singspiel.
