Beskrivelse
My paper "The Potentials of Allegory" dealt with allegories in early opera which are often considered difficult to understand and interpret. In my presentation I linked the allegorical characters with the oral tradition and with epideictic rhetoric: they are rhetorical means to concretize abstact concepts and values and make them sensuous and memorable for an opera audience.
