研究室紹介
Professor Eun-ki Min's research lab specializes in 18th-century French opera, with a focus on the socio-political and aesthetic contexts of major composers such as Rameau and Grétry. The lab explores the interplay between music, power, and cultural identity, particularly how composers navigated shifting political regimes—from royal courts to revolutionary governments. Key research directions include the reception of French opera, the role of music in political propaganda, and the evolution of operatic style in response to institutional and ideological change. The lab also investigates the critical reception and legacy of composers who challenged established norms, such as Rameau’s departure from Lully’s model.

During the royal regime, he had been on close terms with the French royal family, especially Marie Antoinette, as well as other grandees. But after French Revol
