English summary: In the eighteenth century, Italian opera was present in all parts of Europe - constituting a cultural medium which connected courts and centres of power and commerce from Naples to St. Petersburg. Previous research into opera as a European phenomenon has mostly focused on composers, scores and locations, less so on artistic personnel. This increasingly appears as an oversight, given that recent studies concerning the role of the singers in the production process have suggested that the single work of Italian opera was marked much more by the respective production process and every single performance than previously assumed: Singers, dancers, musicians, librettists and "Capellmeister" (not necessarily the composers themselves) would generate a new operatic works through their own creative activity every night, adjusting them to the performance conditions in a process of permanent transformation. Furthermore, the artists assembled either in cooperatives (travelling ensembles) or employed individually in changing engagements substantially contributed to the fact that operas could be performed across Europe, on the basis of a well-functioning network and system of communication. The book presents the first annotated edition of the mid-eighteenth century correspondence between the musicians and partners in marriage, Franz and Marianne Pirker, who both were connected to Pietro Mingotti's opera company. The letters shed new light on opera business and the musician's respective experiences in biography and profession, their social environment and their integration into social structures, as well as their career strategies between mobility and settledness. German description: Die italienische Oper war im 18. Jahrhundert in ganz Europa prasent und ein kulturelles Medium, das Hofe, Herrschafts- und Handelszentren von Neapel bis nach St. Petersburg miteinander verband. Ihre Erforschung als europaisches Phanomen orientierte sich bisher vor allem an Komponisten, Partituren und Orten, weniger an dem kunstlerischen Personal. Nachdem nun jungere Untersuchungen gezeigt haben, dass die Werkhaftigkeit der italienischen Opern viel starker als bis dato angenommen von dem Moment der jeweiligen Auffuhrung gepragt war, erweist sich eine solche Perspektive als unzureichend. Sanger, Tanzer, Musiker, Librettisten und Kapellmeister (nicht unbedingt der Komponist selbst) liessen ein Opernwerk durch eigenes schopferisches Wirken jeden Abend neu erstehen und passten es in einem stetigen Wandlungsprozess immer wieder an die Bedingungen der jeweiligen Auffuhrung an. Ferner trugen die Opernkunstler als lokal nicht gebundene Kooperativen (Wanderensembles), aber auch als Einzelpersonen in wechselnden Engagements wesentlich dazu bei, dass das Produkt Oper uberall gespielt werden konnte - auf der Basis eines gut funktionierenden Netzwerks und Kommunikationssystems. Mit dem Buch wird die um die Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts und im Umfeld der Opernunternehmung Pietro Mingottis entstandene Korrespondenz des Musikerpaares Franz und Marianne Pirker erstmals in einer kommentierten Edition vorgelegt. Sie beleuchtet den italienischen Opernbetrieb unter dem Aspekt der Kunstler, ihrer jeweiligen Lebens- und Berufsbedingungen, ihres sozialen Umfeldes und ihrer Integration in gesellschaftliche Strukturen sowie ihrer Karrierestrategien zwischen Mobilitat und Sesshaftigkeit.
