Voicing Britannia: Opera, Gender, and Jews, 1760-1830
Erman, Uri (Lecturer, Lecturer, Shalem College, Jerusalem)
According to a widely held view in eighteenth-century Britain, Britons were inherently unmusical. Through a detailed historiography of singers breaking new ground for opera in the country -- high-pitched men, virtuosic prima donnas, and Jews -- Voicing Britannia explores how the changing landscape of opera was negotiated in British society.
