Описание: Western opera is a globalized and globalizing phenomenon and affords us a unique opportunity for exploring the concept of orientalism, the subject of literary scholar Edward Saids modern classic on the topic. Nicholas Tarlings Orientalism and the Operatic World places opera in the context of its steady globalization over the past two centuries. In this important survey, Tarling first considers how the Orient appears on the operatic stage in Britain, France, Germany, Russia, and the United States before exploring individual operas according to the region of the Orient in which the work is set. Throughout, Tarling offers key insights into such notable operas as George Frideric Handels Berenice, Giuseppe Verdis Aida, Giacomo Puccinis Madama Butterfly, Pietro Mascagnis Iris, and others. Orientalism and the Operatic World argues that any close study of the history of Western opera, in the end, fails to support the notion propounded by Said that Westerners inevitably stereotyped, dehumanized, and ultimately sought only to dominate the East through art. Instead, Tarling argues that opera is a humanizing art, one that emphasizes what humanity has in common by epic depictions of passion through the vehicle of song. Orientalism and the Operatic World is not merely for opera buffs or even first-time listeners. It should also interest historians of both the East and West, scholars of international relations, and cultural theorists.
