Description:
French grand opera, this book argues, was a different and more complex kind of theater than we ordinarily suppose. Focusing on the period of grand opera's rise, its dominance, and its final decline, Professor Fulcher shows that it was a subtly used tool of the state. Official intervention affected both the formation of the gentre's artistic traits and the audience's understanding of their significance.
