An impassioned guide to opera's political dimension. Viva la Liberta! puts politicsback into opera, uncovering the political dimension of an art form all too often considered purely aesthetic. Taking us on a tour of 200 years of great opera, fromThe Marriage of Figaro to Nixon in China, Arblaster reveals opera's full vitality and passion for liberty. |
