Description

Marco Faustini was among the most active and successful professionals in 17th-century Venetian opera. As an "impressario", he was responsible for every facet of production from contracting the cast to balancing the books at the season's end. Through examination of Faustini's documents - including personal papers, account books and correspondence - Beth and Jonathan Glixon provide a comprehensive view of opera production in mid-17th century Venice. Throughout the book an emphasis is placed on the "physical production", the scenery, costumes and stage machinery that tied these opera productions to the social and economic life of the city.
