Well-known for leading audiences to a new appreciation of Verdi
as a subtle and elaborate musical thinker, Pierluigi Petrobelli
here turns his attention to the intriguing question of how musical
theater works. In this collection of lively, penetrating essays,
Petrobelli analyzes specific operas, mainly by Verdi, in terms of
historical context, musical organization, and dramaturgical
conventions.
