Description

English Dramatick Opera, 1661-1706 is the first comprehensive examination of the distinctively English form known as dramatick opera, which appeared on the London stage in the mid-1670s and remained prominent until its displacement by Italian through-composed opera in the early eighteenth century. Andrew Walkling's scholarly work argues that whilst the musical elements of this form are crucial to its definition and history, the origins of the genre lie principally in a tradition of spectacular stagecraft that first manifested itself in England in the mid-1660s. This interdisciplinary study explores how dramatick opera emerged as a unique theatrical phenomenon, blending dramatic narrative with musical composition and elaborate stage production. Essential for opera historians, musicologists, and theatre scholars seeking to understand the evolution of English opera and the cultural factors that shaped this distinctive artistic form before Italian opera came to dominate the English stage.

Key Features

English Dramatick Opera covers the complete period from 1661 to 1706, tracing the development and decline of this distinctive theatrical genre on the London stage.

Andrew Walkling examines how spectacular stagecraft traditions from the mid-1660s formed the foundational origins of dramatick opera rather than purely musical elements.

The work provides the first comprehensive scholarly analysis of dramatick opera as a uniquely English form, filling a significant gap in opera history.

Part of the Ashgate Interdisciplinary Studies in Opera series, bringing together musicology, drama, and theatre history perspectives on this period.

Explores how dramatick opera lasted until its displacement by Italian through-composed opera in the first decade of the eighteenth century.
