Opera in a Multicultural World: Coloniality, Culture, Performance

Book Overview

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.
