Synopsis
Explore how modern opera reshaped drama through music, with sharp, thoughtful critique of Wagner and his successors.
This collection surveys the operatic landscape of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, tracing Wagner’s influence and examining how later composers responded to his legacy. It offers candid assessments of French and German music, from Saint-Saëns and d’Indy to Debussy, and asks how music can support or overwhelm drama in the lyric stage.
- Read informed arguments about the balance between music and drama in Wagner’s “music-dramas.”
- Learn nuanced takes on contemporary composers and how their work fits into or challenges the operatic tradition.
- See concrete musical examples discussed to illustrate how ideas translate to the stage.
- Consider broader questions about authenticity, originality, and the future of lyric theater.
