- Oktatás célja
- Encompassing roughly a hundred years (from the 1640s to the 1740s), the course is designed to initiate students into the rise and fall of the masque, the semi-opera, and the Italian opera in England. Assumptions about the singers (the castrati, in particular) and music itself will be used to understand much of the cultural anxieties of the age.
