How are Mozart’s operas important to society? I really need help with this for my senior interdisciplinary project. I need to know for both modern day society and society during the 18th Century. Any information would be great thanks.

In and of themselves they are only of importance as high art. Then the question is “How important is Art to society?” Many might say that posterity judges the contribution of any society according to the art that it produces. In a modern technocratic society it might be argued that art is not of any great value other than to entertain.
Now you are entering into the debate on whether art is elevating for its audience or purely an opiate for the masses.
You could spend a great deal of time on such questions and only find answers in philosophy and not hard fact. Any answer is likely to be subjective.
Good luck.

You owe it to yourself to get a bag of popcorn and a rental of the movie “Amadeus” – ranked 53 in American Film Institutes’ Best Movies. It isn’t all true, and I’ve provided you with a synposis of the movie in Wikipedia and another great site that tells the facts from fiction in terms of the movie as an FYI. (There’s also a link to a bio about him and his operas).
You’ll see that in the real life of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, there was no TV, no radio, no Top 40. He was it! He needed to compose and produce operas for important audiences, including the society’s elite and the nobility. His operas do what modern music does today: unite society by making statements that society could relate to or disagree with. The opera, in Mozart’s day, involving a play on stage and a storyline, functioned in the way MTV, and even movies, do today, providing a theme, either socially relevant or universal, for society to discuss and reflect upon.
I hope that you will watch the movie, because you’ll see that Mozart’s role in society during the 18th century was not different from the role that Pink Floyd played when coming out with their opera, The Wall. Incredible genius went into composing the music, presenting it with flawlessly appealing playing, and providing an important message to society. Yes, Pink Floyd’s The Wall was, for these reasons, a modern opera.
Please watch the movie, (worth it to hear the hilariously absurd laugh Tom Hulce gives Mozart as a character ha ha!) check the sites out a bit and think about the comparison above…you should come up with an absolutely killer project! It sounds fun! Good luck!

To put it simply and generally: the plots of many of Mozart’s operas deal with social class differences and disputes. You might want to look for examples in the DaPonte operas, such as the conflict between the Count and the servants in Le Nozze di Figaro, which caused quite a stir when it first premiered.
