With its powerful combination of music and theatre, opera is one of
the most complex and yet immediate of all art forms. Once opera was
studied only as 'a stepchild of musicology', but in the past two
decades opera studies have experienced an explosion of energy with
the introduction of new approaches drawn from disciplines such as
social anthropology and performance studies to media theory, genre
theory, gender studies and reception history. Written by leading
scholars in opera studies today, this Companion offers a
wide-ranging guide to a rapidly expanding field of study and new
ways of thinking about a rich and intriguing art form, placing
opera back at the centre of our understanding of Western culture
over the past 400 years. This book gives lovers of opera as well as
those studying the subject a comprehensive approach to the many
facets of opera in the past and today.
