Synopsis
This collection of eight essays introduces literary and cultural theorists into the domain of operatic textual analysis, a domain that until very recently has been a bastion of astonishingly conservative theory penned largely by musicologists. A notable feature of this volume is the first English translation of 'Burgerliche Oper' ('Bourgeois Opera'), a major work of interdisciplinary operatic analysis by Theodor Adorno. Beginning with Adorno's piece, the essays offer a broad variety of contemporary critical approaches ranging from the Frankfurt School through Lacanian psychoanalysis and post-structuralism to discourse analysis. The essays vary in focus from readings of individual operas (from Monteverdi and Striggio's Orfeo [1607] to John Adams and Alice Goodman's Nixon in China [1987]) to problems of the canon and operatic textuality per se.
From the Back Cover
This collection of eight essays introduces literary and cultural theorists into the domain of operatic textual analysis, offering a fresh look at underexamined terrain.
