During the years of the July Monarchy, French grand opera exploited the powerful combination of musical and visual effects to foreground political agendas. Taking five operas - by Auber, Meyerbeer, Halévy and Niedermeyer - this book reveals the central position that grand opera occupied during this period, bringing the past alive.
