Red boards with silver lettering on spine. Page dimensions: 246 x 185mm. Illustrated. "Starting with the premise that opera has its own conventions, differing from both pure music and spoken theatre, this book aims to explore how the music/drama amalgam actually works. By drawing on well known operas for its examples, it shows how a sensitive response to the music can inform stage action and dramatic pacing.
