This book presents chapters that explore the concept and history of opera. It discusses the identification of what generates the dramatic conflict, attempts at a taxonomic segmentation of dramatico-musical text, and identification of the function of a stylistic category such as exoticism or of a codified topos. The chapter also discusses Verdi and his contemporaries, and the history of Verdian criticism.

Keywords:   opera, dramatic conflict, dramatico-musical texts, verdi, verdian criticism
