Romantic Empowerment at the Paris Opera in the 1770s and 1780s
This article responds to recent criticism of the historiography of musical epochs. Instead of associating the rise of romanticism with the otherworldliness of instrumental music, as embraced by some German writers around 1800, this article focuses on Romantics' rebellion against monarchical norms as evidenced at the Paris Opera, where in the 1770s and 1780s artists sought to appropriate values that, if enacted, could replace existing political re…

Literary motifs, musical form and the quest for the ‘Sublime’
A common feature of Cherubini's Parisian operas of the 1790s is the displacement of one or more of the protagonists. They are out of sorts with their environment, experiencing a need to escape that prevents the traditional unity of place from focusing the drama.
