Description
Tracing the development of "radical" opera production from the innovations of Peter Brook in the 1950s to leading contemporary figures such as Peter Sellars, David Freeman and Jonathan Miller, this work also discusses the challenge of opera as a genre. It addresses the important question facing opera today, of whether it is to be the preserve of hugely-paid stars or a vehicle for genuine innovation and challenge.
