Review
While Hadlock's reading of Hoffman against its sources affords many keen insights, her reading of the opera against itself is even more revealing . . . A work of scintillating intelligence and endlessly intriguing possibilities.
(M. Lignana Rosenberg Opera News )
In keeping with Offenbach's hybrid work, this book moves freely across academic borders--alongside the opera's literary origins sit historical and biographical contexts, and intertwined with straightforward musicology is feminist theory and philosophy. . . . If you love the opera, and are not frightened of some solid intellectual abstractions, here is something for your bookshelves.
