Between Slaughterfest and Passion. Reception of Orphean Subject-Matter in the Hamburg Opera House
The paper presents the opera as a musical and literary genre that is closely linked to principles of intertextuality. In a twofold analysis various examples of the Hamburg Opera â including Reinhard Keiserâs Der Angenehme Betrug/ oder: Der Carneval von Venedig (1707) and Georg Philipp Telemannâs Die wunderbare BestĂ€ndigkeit der Liebe, oder Orpheus (1726) â are re-evaluated in the context of French opera as well as protestant German Passiontide literature.</jats:p
