Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
Taking as its focus the relation between opera and nationalism, art and the state, Richard Dellamora and Fischlin's book manages to be state of the art: a scintillating collective exploration-by some of the premier opera writers of the day-of opera's mercurial role in political life past and present. The essays are by turns elegant, entertaining, and intellectually bracing: ardent both in their commitment to-and critique of-this most seductive of art forms. -- Terry Castle author of Nol Coward and Radclyffe Hall: Kindred Spirits
