Description
Mozart's Operas (A Centennial Book) by Daniel Heartz explores the final decade of Mozart's operatic career, drawing on his expertise in social history, theater, and art. This collection includes six new essays, revised and updated with previously unknown documents, alongside thirty-seven illustrations from the author's private collection. The volume delves into Mozart's last operas, including Le nozze di Figaro, Don Giovanni, and Così fan tutte, examining their musical connections and the role of Lorenzo da Ponte as a collaborator. The essays also discuss the world of dance, Freemasonry in Austria, and the relation between Mozart's overtures and opera dramaturgy. Heartz's writing is characterized by elegance and wit, offering fresh insights into Mozart's operas and their place within the broader cultural landscape of 18th-century Europe.
