This book is about the drama that takes place within the world of
opera and provides an insight into how opera has evolved and
functions. The Creators describes some of the ways that composers
use the language of music, and liaise with their librettists. The
Re-Creators explains the functions of conductors, producers,
designers, repetiteurs, the chorus and orchestra, singers, the Fach
system (by which voice types are categorised), understudies, and
the prompter. Information is provided on Training, the Audition
Process, Competitions, the Rehearsal Schedule, Opera Administration
and the Audience (including its effect on the performers), as well
as on the claque system, types of applause, and music critics (and
their effect on the artist). Opera companies (festival, seasonal
and touring), television opera and video performances are all fully
explored. A final Overview explains how opera has adapted to
changing social conditions from Monteverdi to the present day, and
points to what the future might hold. An Interlude includes a
number of humorous incidents and cautionary tales, and a
comprehensive Glossary unravels the jargon of the most frequently
used operatic terms.
