Inhaltsangabe

This book explores multicultural representation in western European operatic genres in the modern world. It reveals¿approaches to reflecting identity, transmitting meaning, and inspiring creation,¿and¿the¿ambiguities of¿cultural values and practices that¿occur across the time and place(s) of performance. In theorizing coloniality through intercultural¿exchange in opera, essays explore topics that involve immigrant, indigenous, exoticist, and other cultural representations. The book offers a more integrated understanding of the interdisciplinary fields inherent in opera, including musicology, sociology, anthropology, and others in Theatre, Gender, and Cultural Studies.
