The Birth of Opera by F W Sternfeld
F. W. Sternfeld examines the role of poets and composers in establishing the new genre of opera in northern Italy around 1600. He discusses the problems of sung drama, particularly the required happy ending and its foil, the lament, and highlights the enduring appeal, from Poliziano through to Monteverdi, to Stravinsky, of the story of Orpheus the divine singer.| SKU | Unavailable |
