Abstract

The chapter argues that the modes of listening to, and watching, female artists performing live from the 1830s onwards prompted an unprecedented engagement on behalf of female spectators - to the extent that it opened up new ways for them of feeling and thinking about their sexual, social, and economic selves in late 19th century Italy following the rise of female literacy and better access to education.
