This work examines the development of representations of selfhood in opera in the modern period. It shows how notions of subjectivity current in various theories of modernism apply to operas, especially those which were directly or indirectly influenced by Wagner. These analyses reveal that operas may employ notions of subjectivity in various ways: as embedded in a religious context, as social critique, or as a critique of individualism.
