"I often wonder, just who are you crying for in that deserted alley during the rainy night?" He placed his chin on her hair and asked depressingly as the dragon caved in.He didn't seem to have a serious tone to his words, but he had to take the question that came out of the emperor's mouth seriously.Her body stiffened for a moment, then she turned around and wrapped her delicate and white arms around his neck, sticking close to him like a water snake. "Because I met you, I cried with joy, Your Majesty." She had found his lips and sealed them with a kiss.

The Rival Sirens
Author: Suzanne Aspden
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1107067766
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 309
Book Description
The tale of the onstage fight between prima donnas Francesca Cuzzoni and Faustina Bordoni is notorious, appearing in music histories to this day, but it is a fiction. Starting from this misunderstanding, The Rival Sirens suggests that the rivalry fostered between the singers in 1720s London was in large part a social construction, one conditioned by local theatrical context and audience expectations, and heightened by manipulations of plot and music. This book offers readings of operas by Handel and Bononcini as performance events, inflected by the audience's perceptions of singer persona and contemporary theatrical and cultural contexts. Through examining the case of these two women, Suzanne Aspden demonstrates that the personae of star performers, as well as their voices, were of crucial importance in determining the shape of an opera during the early part of the eighteenth century.
