第二篇阅读时间7分钟,总结10分钟
Core: The reasons for the explosion of opera by women in a certain period of time.
Excerpt: The abolition of privileges for the royal theatres during the revolutionary period resulted in a tremendous multiplication of new theaters, giving authors and composers even more chances to see their works staged-especially because opera fulfilled the dual (and contradictory) roles of providing an escape from Revolutionary violence and of being a forum for political education.
