The Operatic Archive: American Opera as History extends the growing
interdisciplinary conversation in opera studies by drawing on new
research in performance studies and the philosophy of history.
Moving beyond traditional aesthetic conceptions of opera, this book
argues for opera's powerful potential for historical impact and
engagement in late twentieth- and twenty-first-century works by
American composers. Considering opera's ability to serve as a
vehicle for memory, historical experience, affect, presence, and
the historical sublime, this volume demonstrates how opera's
ability to represent and evoke historical events and historical
experience differs fundamentally from the representations and
recreations of other modes (specifically, literary and dramatic
representations). Building on the work of performance scholars such
as Joseph Roach, Rebecca Schneider, and Diana Taylor, and in
consultation with recent debates in the philosophy of history, the
book will be of interest to a wide range of scholars and
researchers, particularly those working in the areas of opera
studies and performance studies.
