Reviews

As the author reminds us, in terms of theatrical prestige, musical theatre is on the bottom rung, after opera and spoken drama. In research it is likewise. Thus any new contribution to this area is both rare and particularly valuable. Against a backdrop of the black slave trade in Imperial Rio de Janeiro, Luiz Costa-Lima Neto tells of the career and constraints of the dramatist, diplomat and musician Luiz Carlos Martins Penna (1815-48), the founder of the Brazilian comedy of manners. He describes in detail 12 of these comedies, focusing on the dramatic themes, music and other sounds centered on three areas: 'lundu' (dance), 'aria' (opera) and 'alleluia' (religion), and in so doing makes a significant contribution to theatrical, musical and social history. -- David Cranmer, Universidade Nova de Lisboa
