What is it about the marriage of music and the stage that fills us with such bewilderment and passion? What is opera's seductive promise and how does it draw us into its embrace? This study considers the allure of several seducers and seductresses from nineteenth-century opera - Monteverdi's "Poppea", Handel's "Alcina", and Massenet's "Manon".
