MUS 2253 Mozart-Da Ponte Operas
(3 hours) Block 1
Mozart’s collaborations with librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte led to the composition of three great masterpieces of opera. Designed to guide the reader to a deeper understanding and appreciation of these enigmatic works, this course will examine the musical, cultural, and social context in which they were written–the tastes and expectations of the contemporary opera audience, Mozart’s intentions and aspirations in a period of rapid intellectual and political change, Da Ponte’s views of opera, and the practical logistics of opera production at the time.
