- Abstract
The answers to how an individual or a society perceives itself construct their identity. What others think about them is defined as an image. To the European viewpoint, Muslim Turks have oppressed European countries until the second siege of Vienna by the Ottoman Empire in 1683, and expanded well into Europe. Therefore, average European thought the Turks were looters and cruel people in that period. The relations of Muslim Turks with Europe were understood as Muslim-Christian relationships. It is seen that the Turk started appearing as a character in European performing arts from the 15th century on in the Renaissance festivals in 1454, as part of the cultural relations that started along with the political and military relations after the conquest of Istanbul by the Ottomans in 1453. In the 16th century the west entered the area of influence of Turquerie and the Ottomans, and consequently of the Turks. We encounter Turks in the opera stages in the first half of the 17th century. Generally, in the Turkish character represented in 18th and 19th century operas the nobility of Turkish noblemen is respected, but matters such as the Turkish point of view about women, Turkish moral values, cruelty and abduction were ridiculed.
