This collection of essays, presented by an internationally known team of scholars, explores the world of Vienna and the development of opera buffa in the second half of the eighteenth century. Although today Mozart remains one of the most well-known figures of the period, the era was filled with composers, librettists, writers and performers who created and developed opera buffa. Among the topics examined are the relationship of Viennese opera buffa to French theatre; Mozart and eighteenth-century comedy; gender, nature and bourgeois society on Mozart's buffa stage; as well as close analyses of key works such as Don Giovanni and Le nozze di Figaro.

In the quiet town of Bridge Falls, a boy meets a girl with whom he falls in love. Though this is what he feels, he himself doesn't know, or is afraid to admit that such is his feelings for her. Rainey has big plans for himself. Though adept at farm life, having grown up in one, he doesn't want that life. He is studying architecture and will soon be graduating, on his way to fulfill his dreams. Vienna is the new girl in town. She is beautiful and quirky. Her family owns the newest diner in town, which has become a quick success. And that is where the fateful first meeting of Rainey and Vienna takes place. They are drawn to each other like moths to a flame, their young hearts reveling at the feelings and sensations that they evoke to each other. But unacknowledged love, at least in words, can be as damaging as an unrequited one, since they both look and sound the same. And from this tragic omission, caused by youthful arrogance and misunderstanding, will a love story be fulfilled, yet twenty years in the making.

Janet K. Page explores the interaction of music and piety, court and church, as seen through the relationship between the Habsburg court and Vienna's convents. For a period of some twenty-five years, encompassing the end of the reign of Emperor Leopold I and that of his elder son, Joseph I, the court's emphasis on piety and music meshed perfectly with the musical practices of Viennese convents. This mutually beneficial association disintegrated during the eighteenth century, and the changing relationship of court and convents reveals something of the complex connections among the Habsburg court, the Roman Catholic Church, and Viennese society. Identifying and discussing many musical works performed in convents, including oratorios, plays with music, feste teatrali, sepolcri, and other church music, Page reveals a golden age of convent music in Vienna and sheds light on the convents' surprising engagement with contemporary politics.
