currentmusicology-5139	Burgess, Geoffrey	Review of Martha Feldman. 2007. Opera and Sovereignty: Transforming Myths in Eighteenth-Century Italy. Chicago and London: University of Chicago Press	2008	9	.pdf	application/pdf	4068	141	40	While talk of a Verdi opera may seem out of place in a book about opera seria, the reference is apt in light of Feldman's broader argument, as it underscores the distance between eighteenth-century and present-day sensibilities in opera performance. Since she began her work on opera seria in the mid-1990s, she has not been afraid to revise her thinking and fine-tune her arguments, all the while bringing a fresh perspective to the remarkable life of opera in eighteenth-century Italy.	cache/currentmusicology-5139.pdf	txt/currentmusicology-5139.txt
