Black Opera : History, Power, Engagement
From classic films like Carmen Jones to contemporary works like The Diary of Sally Hemings and U-Carmen eKhayelitsa, American and South African artists and composers have used opera to reclaim black people's place in history.Naomi André draws on the experiences of performers and audiences to explore this music's resonance with today's listeners.Interacting with creators and performers, as well as with the works themselves, André reveals how black opera unearths suppressed truths.These truths provoke complex, if uncomfortable, reconsideration of racial, gender, sexual, and other oppressive ideologies.Opera, in turn, operates as a cultural and political force that employs an immense, transformative power to represent or even liberate.Viewing opera as a fertile site for critical inquiry, political activism, and social change, Black Opera lays the foundation for innovative new approaches to applied scholarship.

Pasticcio Opera in Britain : History and Context
This study overturns twentieth-century thinking about pasticcio opera.This radical way of creating opera formed a counterweight, even a relief, to the trenchant masculinity of literate culture in the seventeenth century.It undermined the narrowing of nationalism in the eighteenth century, and was an act of gross sacrilege against the cult of Romantic genius in the nineteenth century.In the twentieth century, it found itself on the wrong side of copyright law.However, in the twenty-first century it is enjoying a tentative revival.This book redefines pasticcio as a method rather than a genre of opera and aligns it with other art forms which also created their works from pre-existing parts, including sculpture.A pasticcio opera is created from pre-existing music and text, thus flying in face of insistence on originality and creation by a solo genius. -- .

The Gilded Stage : A Social History of Opera
The Gilded Stage is a comprehensive tour of the world of opera.From its origins in the courts of northern Italy, to its internationally recognised position in modern culture, Snowman explores the social history of opera houses and impresarios, composers and patrons, artists and audiences.Even the most flamboyant composers could scarcely have imagined the global reach of opera in our own times.More opera is performed, financed, seen, heard, filmed and broadcast than ever before, and the world's leading performers are worshipped and paid like pop stars.Yet the art form is widely derided as 'elitist' and parts of the classical recording business appear close to bankruptcy.Pinpointing the scandals, forgotten history and key revolutions in the form with light erudition and a brilliant anecdotal eye, Daniel Snowman reveals that the world of opera has always known crisis and uncertainty - and the resulting struggles have often proved every bit as dramatic as those portrayed onstage.
