Cinema's Illusions, Opera's Allure: The Operatic Impulse in Film
ISBN: 9781474291422 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The invention of cinema was ingenious, so much so that virtually no-one quite knew what to do with it. In its earliest stages, especially with the advent of the feature film, it needed models, and opera proved to be especially useful in that regard. The allure of opera to cinema early in the twentieth century held up through the silent era, into sound films, through the golden age of movies, and beyond. This book explores the numerous ways - some predictable, some unexpected, and some bizarre - in which this has happened. The influence of Richard Wagner on filmmakers has been...

The music of Tchaikovsky remains as much loved in the twenty-first century as it was a hundred years ago. But it has so much more to offer than luscious orchestration and tuneful melodies.

From June 1993 through August 2005, I had the great privilege of serving as Nyack College's eleventh president.

The name was chosen to indicate my intention to be as transparent and above board as possible with the readers. Most of those articles, as...

He explores Haydn's relationship with his audience, and suggests that Haydn was well acquainted with the contemporary view that works of art should serve a moral...
