The idea that vernacular theater should cultivate the moral sensibilities of its German-speaking audiences became prominent during the reign of Empress Maria Theresa. The imperial government promoted good morals in theatrical performances through the institution of theater censorship, and German-opera authors cultivated intensely didactic works (such as \u003ci\u003eDie Zauberflöte\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eFidelio\u003c\/i\u003e) that eventually became the cornerstones for later developments of German culture. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52380130705719,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":1267.75,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/3548\/7543\/files\/9781472476579-1.jpg?v=1783206611","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.my\/products\/9781472476579","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Malaysia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
