The Stage Works of Philip Glass is the first publication to
exclusively examine Glass's stage works from 1976 to the present
day. Glass, who is regularly acclaimed as the most popular living
classical composer, created stage works that have had a mesmerizing
effect on younger generations. Robert Waters analyses Glass and his
music for the theatre in the context of other composers interested
in so-called minimalist features. His discussion includes three
introductory chapters that address the validity versus invalidity
of terms such as minimalism, post-minimalism, postmodernism, and
neo-Romanticism, together with a brief overview of Glass's life and
works. Waters examines the different types of theatre responsible
for Glass's impact, including Robert Wilson's Theater of Images. He
sheds light on Glass's philosophy regarding staging, text, and
other theatrical components, which includes a defiance of
conventional narrative, visual and aural dissociation as a
theatrical technique, and deconstructionist concepts.
