In Performing Opera: A Practical Guide for Singers and Directors
Michael Ewans provides a detailed and practical workbook to
performing many of the most commonly produced operas. Drawing on
examples from twenty-four operas ranging in period from Gluck and
Mozart to Britten and Tippett, it illustrates exactly how opera
functions as dramatic form. Grounded in close analyses of
performances of thirty scenes and five whole operas by first-rate
singers and celebrated directors, Performing Opera provides readers
with an appreciation of the unique challenges and skills required
by performers and directors. It will assist them in their own
performance and equip them with detailed knowledge of works most
commonly featured in the repertoire. In the first part of the book
the analysis progresses from scenes in which the singers are
silent, via arias and monologues, duets and confrontations, up to
ensembles. Wider issues are subsequently addressed: encounters with
offstage events, encounters with the numinous, characterization,
and the sense of inevitability in tragic opera.
