It analyses opera's nearly immutable form throughout wars, revolutions, and vast social changes throughout the world. Bereson argues that by legitimising the power of the state through universally recognised ceremonial ritual, opera enjoys a privileged status across three continents, often to the detriment of popular and indigenous art forms.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51863875682592,"sku":"NEW0415278511","price":268.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/51A-uDYkNWL.jpg?v=1781641385","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-operatic-state-cultural-policy-and-the-opera-house-routledge-harwood-studies-in-cultural-policy-0415278511","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
