Whole channel is worth a look
Seems the season for this:
A modern performance of an opera that was first written in 1735. I was curious if this was some kind of tone-deaf modern thing or a cringy older thing. The latter, as it turns out.from times,when people belived in noble savage.
Meanwhile the Indians that were in the place to do so were doing their best to Europeanize themselves.This seems fairly early for the noble-savage though, I thought that mainly started during the 18-1900's. I mean, the Indian wars were still going strong, the French still had Quebec and the Louisiana Territory. This must have been very avant-garde for the time.
