  • Summary

    The Ottoman court and theaters attracted countless Italian performers especially of opera as well as composers, and proved themselves as potential steps toward a career in Italian or global theater. Strong demand by the Eastern Mediterranean audience sustained their careers. Early composers and dramatists of pieces in Turkish profited from education in France or Italy. By contrast, early performers of drama and opera in Turkish were recruited from a subaltern milieu of local Armenians that received much criticism due to their accent or lacking grasp of the Turkish language.
