Publisher Description: With the arrival of Mozart, opera at last came fully alive. Discarding the masks of Greek drama, as it were, for individuals with recognizable personalities, he saw the vast possibilities of the operatic form as a means of creating characters, great and small, who moved, thought, and breathed musically like real people. He spoke our language, treating stage life as an everyday arena and looking, commenting, and feeling with emotions we understand. In the end, it is his wondrous music that in its depth and variety, its color and wit, gives the composer a universality that is unique in the long history of music. |
