{"product_id":"don-giovanni-in-rio-de-janeiro-von-undefined","title":"Don Giovanni in Rio De Janeiro","description":"On 29 November 1807, on the eve before Napoleon’s army occupied Lisbon,\nthe Portuguese court set sail for Brazil. Rio de Janeiro became the new\ncapital of the Império Português, which led to profound social and cultural\ntransformations in the city and a redefinition of the colony’s political framework.\nFive months before the premiere of Da Ponte’s and Mozart’s Don Giovanni\non 20 September 1821, King John VI returned to Lisbon, appointing his son\nPedro as Prince Regent. Pedro remained in Brazil with his wife, Leopoldina, the\ndaughter of Emperor Francis I. Little more than a year later, on 2 September\n1822, under the presidency of Pedro’s wife Leopoldina, the Council of State\napproved Brazil’s secession from Portugal, paving the way for independence\nand the rise of a new empire.\nAgainst this historical background, this volume traces the development of\nopera in Brazil from the mid-eighteenth century to the reign of Emperor Pedro I,\nsituating it within its wider cultural and political context. The analysis of the\n1821 Rio premiere of Don Giovanni is complemented by examinations of the\nwork’s subsequent American debuts in Buenos Aires (1827) and Mexico City (1828).\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783990942611\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Opera’s First Performance Beyond Europe (1821) and Its Cultural-Political Context\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover - 9783990942611","offer_id":57895226573125,"sku":"9783990942611","price":65.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/331fbec3-f4b5-4bdb-a7a1-6f6f5712edac.jpg?v=1780809685","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/don-giovanni-in-rio-de-janeiro-von-undefined","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
