Music in the Theater by Pierluigi Petrobelli
In this collection of essays, Petrobelli analyzes specific operas, mainly by Verdi, in terms of historical context, musical organization and dramaturgical conventions. His object is an examination of how musical theatre works.
"Petrobelli was putting Verdi and other early nineteenth-century Italian opera composers to analytical scrutiny at a time when few thought the venture worthwhileIt is good to have his essays (among them two new ones, on La forza del destino and Macbeth), some of which have reposed as far afield as a Slovene journal."---John Rosselli, The Times Literary Supplement
