Between 1955 and 1975 music theatre became a central preoccupation
for European composers digesting the consequences of the
revolutionary experiments in musical language that followed the end
of the Second World War. The 'new music theatre' wrought multiple,
significant transformations, serving as a crucible for the
experimental rethinking of theatrical traditions, artistic genres,
the conventions of performance, and the composer's relation to
society. This volume brings together leading specialists from
across Europe to offer a new appraisal of the genre. It is
structured according to six themes that investigate: the relation
of new music theatre to earlier and contemporaneous theories of
drama; the use of new technologies; the relation of new music
theatre to progressive politics; the role of new venues and
environments; the advancement of new conceptions of the performer;
and the challenges that new music theatre lays down for music
analysis. Contributing authors address canonical works by composers
such as Berio, Birtwistle, Henze, Kagel, Ligeti, Nono, and
Zimmermann, but also expand the field to figures and artistic
developments not regularly represented in existing music histories.
Particular attention is given to new music theatre as a site of
intense exchange - between practitioners of different art forms,
across national borders, and with diverse mediating institutions.
