The Cambridge Companion to Twentieth-Century OperaMervyn Cooke Cambridge University Press, 08/12/2005 - 374 páginas This Companion celebrates the extraordinary diversity of operatic achievements in the twentieth century by bringing together the work of scholars from both sides of the Atlantic, alongside thought-provoking commentaries on the contemporary operatic scene. Beginning with a survey of operatic legacies and a discussion of how these impinged on later developments, the volume offers treatments of regional styles and aesthetic trends, and essays on opera and film, popular operetta and the musical, avant-garde music theatre and minimalism, market forces on opera production, and changing compositional styles and production trends. |
