The operatic presence of the Greco-Roman gods and heroes was anything but unambiguous or unproblematic, however. This book highlights myth's chameleonic life in the Italian 'dramma per musica' and French 'tragédie en musique' of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. 0aOperazFrancey17th century. 0aOperazFrancey18th century. 0aMythology, Classical, in opera.
