Students will examine music from various theatrical traditions, ranging from the origins of opera and ballet in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries to operetta and the birth of the Music Hall, Broadway and film musicals. Our focus will be on representative works from the Western repertory, experienced through audio-visual resources and live performances, supplemented by primary and secondary source readings. Generally, this course is organized in a chronological fashion, but we will avoid teleological (cause and effect) and evolutionary (worse to better) tendencies. Instead, we will focus on issues that arise repeatedly throughout the history of theatrical music, and the ways in which they are dealt with in specific times, places, and genres. These include: What does the presence, or absence, of music contribute to a narrative plot, character development, and/or stagecraft? In what ways do sound and visual technologies interact with and impact live theatrical traditions? How is musical performance itself represented on stage? How is musical theater related to broader contexts of history, ideology and culture?
