Its popularity, however, has given rise to a number of perplexing and exciting questions regarding literary sources, librettos, theater design, set design, stage movement, and costumes--even the editing of the operas. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In 1980, the Dallas Opera produced the American premier of Vivaldi's \u003ci\u003eOrlando furioso\u003c\/i\u003e, which met with much acclaim. Concurrently an international symposium on the subject of Baroque opera was held at Southern Methodist University. Authorities from around the world met to discuss the operatic works of Vivaldi, Handel, and other Baroque composers as well as the characteristics of the genre. Michael Collins and Elise Kirk, deputy chair and chair of the symposium, edited the papers to produce this groundbreaking study, which will be of great interest to music scholars and opera lovers throughout the world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Contributors to \u003ci\u003eOpera and Vivaldi\u003c\/i\u003e include Shirley Wynne, John Walter Hill, Andrew Porter, Eleanor Selfridge-Field, Howard Mayer Brown, William Holmes, Ellen Rosand, and the editors. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Texas Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46894097662103,"sku":"9781477300640","price":4716.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781477300640.webp?v=1770321500","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/opera-and-vivaldi-9781477300640","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
