Page "Orientalism" Paragraph 73
from
Wikipedia
Authors and composers are not commonly referred to as " Orientalist " in the way that artists are, and relatively few specialized in Oriental topics or styles, or are even best known for their works including them.
But many major figures, from Mozart to Flaubert, have produced significant works with Oriental subjects or treatments.
For example, Verdi's opera Aida ( 1871 ) is set in Egypt as portrayed through the content and the visual spectacle.
