Culture Of Opera Buffa In Mozart's Vienna : A Poetics Of Entertainment.

Hunter, Mary Kathleen,  (1951- .)

(Princeton Studies In Opera)

Princeton Univ. Press  ©1999


The musical environment in which Mozart and Da Ponte created their masterworks has received little attention. The author examines nearly 80 comic operas and identifies the repertory's social values and habits. Finally she discusses how in Cosi fan tutte Mozart & Da Ponte show their awareness of these conventions.
