Remaking the song : operatic visions and revisions from Handel to Berio

Parker, Roger 1951- (Author).

Summary: Spanning almost the entire history of opera, this book re-examines attitudes toward some of our best-loved musical works, and asks a question: what exactly is opera? It considers the works by Handel, Mozart, Donizetti, Verdi, Wagner, Puccini, and Berio, aiming to challenge what many regard as sacroscant: the opera's musical text.
