Recenzje

In tackling the operatic history of Germany's haunted postwar years, Opera after the Zero Hour brings a fresh approach to the study of opera as an emblem of public life. With ethically nuanced attention to Germany's post-genocidal setting, Emily Pollock makes a powerful case for taking seriously long-neglected operatic works that speak to a vexed cultural history still relevant in the present.
