Ottoman Empire and European Theatre Vol. V. Vol.V

The fifth volume of the series Ottoman Empire and European Theatre focuses on The Turkish Subject in Ballet and Dance - from the Seventeenth Century to the Time of Christoph W. Gluck (1714-1787). The Turkish theme was a popular topic on European ballet stages throughout the seventeenth- and eighteenth-century. Most influential choreographers had 'Turkish' ballets in their repertoire. Taking Ch. W. Gluck and Gasparo Angiolini, successful composer and choreographer of ballets at the French theatre in Vienna, as a departure point, the aim of the publication is to discuss the topic from a historical perspective, to present new findings, and to introduce the latest scholarly achievements of the research field.
