As a group they exemplify the broad array of questions to be grappled with in seeking to identify commonalities that might shed light in new and imaginative ways on the experiences and manifestations of opera and notions of opera in Victorian Britain. In unpacking the significance relevance uses and impacts of opera within British society the collection seeks to enhance understanding of a few of the manifold ways in which the population learned about and experienced opera how audiences and the broader public understood the genre and the aesthetics surrounding it how familiarity with opera played out in British culture and how British customs values and principles affected the genre of opera and perceptions of it. | Opera Outside the Box Notions of Opera in Nineteenth-Century Britain

Opera In The Flesh Sexuality In Operatic Performance

Opera In The Flesh Sexuality In Operatic Performance

Verdi Wagner polymorphous perversion Puccini Brunnhilde Pinkerton and Parsifal all rub shoulders in this delightful poetic insightful sexual book sprung by one man's physical response to the power and exaggeration we call opera. Sam Abel applies a light touch as he considers the topic of opera and the eroticized body: Why do audiences respond to opera in a visceral way? How does opera like no other art form physically move watchers? How and why does opera arouse feelings akin to sexual desire? Abel seeks the answers to these questions by examining homoerotic desire the phenomenon of the castrati operatic cross-dressing and opera as presented through the media. In this deeply personal book Abel writes ‘These pages map my current struggles to pin down my passion for opera my intense admiration for its aesthetic forms and beauties but much more they express my astonishment at how opera makes me lose myself how it consumes me. ’ In so doing Abel uncovers what until now through dry musicology and gossipy history has been left behind a wall of silence: the physical and erotic nature of opera. Although Abel can speak with certainty only about his own response to opera he provides readers with a language and a resonance with which to understand their own experiences. Ultimately Opera in the Flesh celebrates the power of opera to move audiences as no other book has done. It is indeed a treasure of scholarship passion and poetry for everyone with even a passing interest in this fascinating art form. | Opera In The Flesh Sexuality In Operatic Performance

Einstein on the Beach: Opera beyond Drama

Einstein on the Beach: Opera beyond Drama

Philip Glass and Robert Wilson’s most celebrated collaboration the landmark opera Einstein on the Beach had its premiere at the Avignon Festival in 1976. During its initial European tour Metropolitan Opera premiere and revivals in 1984 and 1992 Einstein provoked opposed reactions from both audiences and critics. Today Einstein is well on the way itself to becoming a canonized avant-garde work and it is widely acknowledged as a profoundly significant moment in the history of opera or musical theater. Einstein created waves that for many years crashed against the shores of traditional thinking concerning the nature and creative potential of audiovisual expression. Reaching beyond opera its influence was felt in audiovisual culture in general: in contemporary avant-garde music performance art avant-garde cinema popular film popular music advertising dance theater and many other expressive commercial and cultural spheres. Inspired by the 2012–2015 series of performances that re-contextualized this unique work as part of the present-day nexus of theoretical political and social concerns the editors and contributors of this book take these new performances as a pretext for far-reaching interdisciplinary reflection and dialogue. Essays range from those that focus on the human scale and agencies involved in productions to the mechanical and post-human character of the opera’s expressive substance. A further valuable dimension is the inclusion of material taken from several recent interviews with creative collaborators Philip Glass Robert Wilson and Lucinda Childs each of these sections comprising knee plays or short intermezzo sections resembling those found in the opera Einstein on the Beach itself. The book additionally features a foreword written by the influential musicologist and cultural theorist Susan McClary and an interview with film and theater luminary Peter Greenaway as well as a short chapter of reminiscences written by the singer-songwriter Suzanne Vega. | Einstein on the Beach: Opera beyond Drama

Opera in Paris from the Empire to the Commune

Opera in Paris from the Empire to the Commune

Studies in the history of French nineteenth-century stage music have blossomed in the last decade encouraging a revision of the view of the primacy of Austro-German music during the period and rebalancing the scholarly field away from instrumental music (key to the Austro-German hegemony) and towards music for the stage. This change of emphasis is having an impact on the world of opera production with new productions of works not heard since the nineteenth century taking their place in the modern repertory. This awakening of enthusiasm has come at something of a price. Selling French opera as little more than an important precursor to Verdi or Wagner has entailed a focus on works produced exclusively for the Paris Opéra at the expense of the vast range of other types of stage music produced in the capital: opéra comique opérette comédie-vaudeville and mélodrame for example. The first part of this book therefore seeks to reintroduce a number of norms to the study of stage music in Paris: to re-establish contexts and conventions that still remain obscure. The second and third parts acknowledge Paris as an importer and exporter of opera and its focus moves towards the music of its closest neighbours the Italian-speaking states and of its most problematic partners the German-speaking states especially the music of Weber and Wagner. Prefaced by an introduction that develops the volume’s overriding intellectual drivers of cultural exchange genre and institution this collection brings together twelve of the author’s previously published articles and essays fully updated for this volume and translated into English for the first time. | Opera in Paris from the Empire to the Commune

Masque and Opera in England 1656-1688

Masque and Opera in England 1656-1688

Masque and Opera in England 1656–1688 presents a comprehensive study of the development of court masque and through-composed opera in England from the mid-1650s to the Revolution of 1688–89. In seeking to address the problem of generic categorization within a highly fragmentary corpus for which a limited amount of documentation survives Walkling argues that our understanding of the distinctions between masque and opera must be premised upon a thorough knowledge of theatrical context and performance circumstances. Using extensive archival and literary evidence detailed textual readings rigorous tabular analysis and meticulous collation of bibliographical and musical sources this interdisciplinary study offers a host of new insights into a body of work that has long been of interest to musicologists theatre historians literary scholars and historians of Restoration court and political culture but which has hitherto been imperfectly understood. A companion volume will explore the phenomenon of dramatick opera and its precursors on London’s public stages between the early 1660s and the first decade of the eighteenth century. | Masque and Opera in England 1656-1688
