Employing current theories of ideology, propaganda and musical reception, "Transatlantic Arias" examines the development and impact of early opera in Spain and the Americas through close examination of the New World's first three extant operas. What emerges is an amazing history works for their time and place, which are also critical for illuminating inimitable perspectives on the cohabitation and ollaboration of indigenous groups and Europeans.
