French Grand Opera and the Historical Imagination
Hibberd, Sarah (Dr, University of Nottingham)
During the years of the July Monarchy, French grand opera exploited the powerful combination of musical and visual effects to foreground political agendas. Taking five operas - by Auber, Meyerbeer, Halévy and Niedermeyer - this book reveals the central position that grand opera occupied during this period, bringing the past alive.
