"Blackness in Opera" critically examines the intersections of race
and music in the multifaceted genre of opera. A diverse
cross-section of scholars places well-known operas ("Porgy and
Bess, Aida, Treemonisha") alongside lesser-known works such as
Frederick Delius's "Koanga, " William Grant Still's "Blue Steel, "
and Clarence Cameron White's "Ouanga " to reveal a new historical
context for re-imagining race and blackness in opera. The volume
brings a wide-ranging, theoretically informed, interdisciplinary
approach to questions about how blackness has been represented in
these operas, issues surrounding characterization of blacks,
interpretation of racialized roles by blacks and whites,
controversies over race in the theatre and the use of blackface,
and extensions of blackness along the spectrum from grand opera to
musical theatre and film. In addition to essays by scholars, the
book also features reflections by renowned American tenor George
Shirley. Contributors are Naomi Andre, Melinda Boyd, Gwynne Kuhner
Brown, Karen M. Bryan, Melissa J. de Graaf, Christopher R.
Gauthier, Jennifer McFarlane-Harris, Gayle Murchison, Guthrie P.
Ramsey Jr., Eric Saylor, Sarah Schmalenberger, Ann Sears, George
Shirley, and Jonathan O. Wipplinger.
