The Cambridge Companion to Twentieth-Century Opera（ISBN=9780521783934） 英文原版 pdf snb 115盘 kindle 在线 下载 pmlz mobi

This Companion celebrates the extraordinary riches of the

twentieth-century operatic repertoire in a collection of specially

commissioned essays written by a distinguished team of academics,

critics and practitioners. Beginning with a discussion of the

century's vital inheritance from late-romantic operatic traditions

in Germany and Italy, the text embraces fresh investigations into

various aspects of the genre in the modern age, with a

comprehensive coverage of the work of individual composers from

Debussy and Schoenberg to John Adams and Harrison Birtwistle.

Traditional stylistic categorizations (including symbolism,

expressionism, neo-classicism and minimalism) are reassessed from

new critical perspectives, and the distinctive operatic traditions

of Continental and Eastern Europe, Russia and the Soviet Union, the

United Kingdom and United States are subjected to fresh scrutiny.

The volume includes essays devoted to avant-garde music theatre,

operettas and musicals, filmed opera, and ends with a discussion of

the position of the genre in today's cultural marketplace.

书籍介绍

This Companion celebrates the extraordinary diversity of operatic achievements in the twentieth century by bringing together the work of scholars from both sides of the Atlantic, alongside thought-provoking commentaries on the contemporary operatic scene. Beginning with a survey of operatic legacies and a discussion of how these impinged on later developments, the volume offers treatments of regional styles and aesthetic trends, and essays on opera and film, popular operetta and the musical, avant-garde music theatre and minimalism, market forces on opera production, and changing compositional styles and production trends.
