EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY THEATRE CAPITALS FROM LISBON...

The fifth volume of the series Cadernos de Queluz intends to broaden the conceptual and
geographical perspectives on the pan-European history of music theatre. The cultural and
ceremonial patterns common to 18th-century European courts created complex webs of meaning
around the sovereigns who communicated via the arts  which found expression in an architectural
artistic  and musical code. The existence of a common artistic language among European
countries facilitated the circulation of musicians  theatrical companies  architects 
librettists  and craftsmen within a single network  challenging the orthodox conceptual
distinctions between European cultural traditions. This book is a virtual journey among the
artistic exchanges between the European capitals  weaving them into one single narrative 
underlining the common patterns of musical practices throughout the Continent  from West to
East. The road map starts from the kingdom of Portugal and passes through Madrid  Paris  the
Papal States  Naples  Milan  Vienna  and ends in St. Petersburg.
