Description

Explore the evolution of melodrame a grand spectacle that emerged from Paris boulevard theatres in the 1790s and spread across Europe. This volume examines how melodramatic aesthetics shaped nineteenth-century music drama through heightened emotions, physical gesture, mise en scene and music working together to communicate meaning beyond spoken dialogue. The book analyses the interconnection between melodrama and various hybrid genres combining music with text, providing essential context for understanding opera and musical theatre history. Routledge's Ashgate Interdisciplinary Studies in Opera series presents rigorous scholarship on how the moral struggle between good and evil became central to music drama narratives during this transformative period.
