Abstract
Bibliografie : p. 223-237. - Met reg. Description of the social, cultural, economic, and esthetic factors that led to the assimilation of Italian opera - a complex, expensive genre of elitist reputation - into New York's business-oriented community, with its English cultural heritage and sacred republican traditions.
