Siren Songs: Representations of Gender and Sexuality in Opera - Princeton Studies in Opera
Mary Ann Smart
It has long been argued that opera is all about sex. This work explores the impact of this sexual obsession, and of the power relations that come with it, on the music, words, and staging of opera. It combines readings of specific scenes with efforts to situate these musical moments within the observed historical contexts.
