From eleven years of age, when he wrote his first work for the theatre, until twenty four when he received the commission for ‘Idomineo’, Mozart composed a German Singspiel and part of a second one, two Italian ‘Opera Buffe’, five Italian ‘Opera Serie’, a comedy in Latin, an act of a sacred drama in German, and the incidental music for a German play. It is these twelve works, and the musical and social setting in which they were created, which Carolyn Gianturco examines in this study.
