By studying the operation of court theatre under Emperors Joseph II and Leopold II, Dorothea Link here provides a context for Mozart's career as an opera composer in Vienna. The book brings together a large number of hitherto unavailable primary sources (including the diary of Count Carl Zinzendorf, the theatre account books and records, and other contemporary records such as posters, almanacs, and newspapers) to present a cohesive view of the court theatre in Mozart's Vienna. Link provides the foundation for a study of Mozart reception history and patronage in general, and of Mozart's singers in particular.
