About Opera in Warsaw

A microcosm of busy operatic life during the reign of the enlightened King Stanis¿aw August Poniatowski (r. 1764-95), Warsaw reveals complex processes and entanglements affecting dissemination of opera in the late eighteenth-century. To the fun-loving city torn by whimsical contradictions, imported as well as domestic opera provided attractive and increasingly accessible urban entertainment, while also serving important utilitarian functions prescribed by local initiatives. Warsaw's participation in transnational circulations of works and performers encompasses both ideological and pragmatic factors that not only had far-reaching consequences for the city itself, but also for Europe's shared cultural space.
