Politics of Opera

Meer over het boek

To say that The Politics of Opera is a remarkable achievement would be to give no sense of the magnitude of the undertaking, the challenge of writing a work that does justice not only to the political underpinnings of opera, but also to its music, drama, dramaturgy, and singers. This is an important cultural history and Cohen is a brilliant guide. - Richard Kramer, author of Cherubino's Leap and Unfinished Music
