Dance and Drama in French Baroque Opera: A History - Cambridge Studies in Opera
Harris-Warrick, Rebecca (Cornell University, New York)
In this book, Rebecca Harris-Warrick dismantles the prevailing notion that dance in French Baroque opera was merely decorative, and presents compelling evidence that the divertissement is essential to understanding the work. Evolving practices in music, librettos, choreography and staging are brought to bear on sixty years of operatic history.
