Masque
|
|
|
The Masque originated from Italy and came to France and England in the late 16th century. ... The Masque was dramatic and musical entertainment using elaborate and expensive properties and machinery, and was usually commissioned for Great State occasions.
The debate to whether the Tempest was or even contained a Court Masque was argued by Orgel in 1987. ... Even a less formal distinction between Masque and drama was becoming harder to see. This showing that maybe the Masque spectacle was just a piece of intricate artwork, collaborated by Shakespeare as a musical interlude to entertain the audience.
It is thought that the first known performances of the play were at the Court of James (I) in 1611-13, and the presence of the Jacobean-era Masque further cements the play into this time frame.
