Description

Explore the fascinating connection between European opera and the Ottoman Empire with The Singing Turk by Stanford University Press. While European powers fought the Ottoman Empire throughout much of the eighteenth century, European opera houses were simultaneously staging popular works featuring singing sultans, pashas, and musical courts. This book examines how these representations of the Muslim Ottoman Empire became a staple of the European stage. From Mozart's The Abduction from the Seraglio to Rossini's The Italian Girl in Algiers, this work looks at a vast repertory of music and drama. It provides a detailed look at what these operatic depictions illustrate about the historical relationship and interactions between Europe and the Ottoman Empire from the Siege of Vienna to the Age of Napoleon.
