Sharon seeks to disrupt conventions by urging the performance of opera in “non-spaces” like parking lots; amplifying voices; and even performing classic works in reverse order. Surveying the role of opera in America and drawing on his experiences from Berlin to Los Angeles, Sharon lays out his vision for an “anti-elite opera”, which celebrates the imagination and challenges the status quo. Refusing to believe that opera is dying, Sharon maintains that opera has always existed in a perpetual cycle of death and rebirth. Engaging and accessible, A New Philosophy of Opera, with its advocacy of opera as an “enchanted space” and its revolutionary message, promises to be one of the liveliest opera books in years.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 239mmItem Length: 160mmItem Width: 30mmItem Weight: 573gAuthor: Yuval SharonGenre: Music Dance & TheatreRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
