| Sumario: | During a crucial period in opera's development as a genre and as a business, the flamboyantly libertine Spanish aristocrat Gaspar de Haro y Guzmán (1629-87), Marques de Heliche and del Carpio, influenced operatic practices and productions for both Italian and Hispanic operas. A voracious collector of books and antiquities and famed connoisseur of visual art, the marqués financed operas in both Spain and Italy and further shaped them through his ideas, energy, and politics. His legacy also brought forth the first operas of the Americas, as posthumous revivals of the operatic genres he nurtured appeared in the Americas less than 15 years after his death. In this book, Louise K. Stein follows the trajectory of this first operatic producer to have shaped opera in two different worlds, Europe and the Americas, and in doing so, advances our historical understanding of 17th and early 18th-century opera and cultural encounter. |
