Over the last decade, the theatre and opera of the French Revolution have been the        subject of intense scholarly reassessment, both in terms of the relationship between        theatrical works and politics or ideology in this period and on the question of        longer-scale structures of continuity or rupture in aesthetics. Staging the French        Revolution: Cultural Politics and the Paris Opera, 1789-1794 moves these discussions        boldly forward, focusing on the Paris Opera (Academie Royale de Musique) in the        cultural and political context of the early French Revolution. Both institutional        history and cultural study, this is the first ever full-scale study of the        Revolution and lyric theatre. The book concentrates on three aspects of how a        royally-protected theatre negotiates the transition to national theatre: the        external dimension, such as questions of ownership and governance and the        institution's relationship with State institutions and popular assemblies; the        internal management, finances, selection and preparation of works; and the cultural        and aesthetic study of the works themselves and of their reception.In Staging the        French Revolution, author Mark Darlow offers an unprecedented view of the material        context of opera production, combining in-depth archival research with a study of        the works themselves. He argues that a mixture of popular and State interventions        created a repressive system in which cultural institutions retained agency,        compelling individuals to follow and contribute to a shifting culture. Theatre        thereby emerged as a locus for competing discourses on patriotism, society, the role        of the arts in the Republic, and the articulation of the Revolution's relation with        the 'Old Regime', and is thus an essential key to the understanding of public        opinion and publicity at this crucial historical moment. Combining recent approaches        to institutions, sociability, and authors' rights with cultural studies of opera,        Staging the French Revolution takes a historically grounded and methodologically        innovative cross-disciplinary approach to opera and persuasively re-evaluates the        long-standing, but rather sterile, concept of propaganda.
