Description

Explore the depths of one of the most compelling early Italian operas with The Song of the Soul: Understanding Poppea. Published by Routledge as part of the Royal Musical Association Monographs, this book addresses the common tendency to view L'incoronazione di Poppea in isolation from its historical roots. Authors Iain Fenlon and Peter Miller provide a fresh perspective by examining the contemporary Venetian intellectual currents that shaped the work. By looking at the social and historical context of the era, the authors offer a new way to interpret the libretto's structure and the movement of the action. This study helps readers connect the music and text to the specific preoccupations of the time, making it an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of opera and Venetian culture.

Key Features

Analyzes L'incoronazione di Poppea within its specific social and historical context to prevent modern misinterpretations.

Examines how Venetian intellectual currents influence the structure of the opera's libretto and the progress of the action.

Provides a detailed look at the relationship between the music and the text through a historical lens.

Part of the respected Royal Musical Association Monographs series published by Routledge.

Offers a deep study of the points of emphasis found in both the musical score and the written word.
