Music and medicine in the 19th century

Fri 20 Mar 2015 @ 17:00 - Sun 22 Mar 2015 @ 17:00

This course explores the physicality and psychology of musical depictions of sickness, health, doctors and medicine on the operatic stage. It examines notions of the body – in particular, those associated with ‘female’ illness, including consumption, hysteria and madness – and of the virtuoso musician as superhuman, hypnotist, or magician.
