Singing in Signs: New Semiotic Explorations of Opera offers a bold
and refreshing assessment of the state of opera study as seen
through the lens of semiotics. At its core, the volume responds to
Carolyn Abbate and Roger Parker's Analyzing Opera, utilizing a
semiotic framework to embrace opera on its own terms and engage all
of its constituent elements in interpretation. Chapters in this
collection resurrect the larger sense of serious operatic study as
a multi-faceted, interpretive discipline, no longer in isolation.
Contributors pay particular attention to the musical, dramatic,
cultural, and performative in opera and how these modes can create
an intertext that informs interpretation. Combining traditional and
emerging methodologies, Singing in Signs engages
composer-constructed and work-specific music-semiotic systems,
broader socio-cultural music codes, and narrative strategies, with
implications for performance and staging practices today.
