More about the book

Exploring the interplay between Shakespeare's contrasting theatrical styles and the evolution of opera, this book examines how composers like Purcell, Berlioz, Verdi, and Britten challenged traditional notions of music drama. Through their innovative works, these artists redefined the boundaries of opera, prompting a reevaluation of its conventions and artistic possibilities. The analysis highlights the influence of Shakespearean themes on their compositions and the broader implications for the genre.
