A critical reappraisal by DR. MICHAEL TANNER
Fellow of Corpus Christi College. Cambridge, and Lecturer in Moral Sciences
Dr. Tanner argues that there is very little criticism of opera which takes the art-form as seriously as it deserves. He illustrates this claim by considering ' the confusion into which Mozart's Cosi fan tutte has thrown its commentators,' and offers an alternative account, using excerpts from that work.
