The existing image of opera culture in the Enlightenment is incomplete. While musicology tends to confer importance on a few major musical centers, eighteenth-century opera was increasingly unrestricted by geographical or linguistic boundaries, and circulated throughout the entire European continent. In the age of cosmopolitanism and burgeoning public theaters, operas-particularly works of Italian and French origin-were often performed by the same mobile singers at different locations. Along with an emerging interest in national identity, composers of newly established vernacular operas, who relied to a certain extent on well-known conventions, developed distinct musical styles. It is only through this comprehensive context that the historical character and cultural significance of Classical-period opera can be fully understood.
