Summary: For opera lovers but not only for them!
Comment: This is a wonderful book! I have been carrying around
with me for weeks, reading it and rereading it. Leiris'
book consists of diary-like notations, rather than
carefully organized essays. This fact does not detract
from its value. On the contrary, Leiris' style provokes
the reader to further reflections on the topic at hand.
It encourages you to elaborate upon his seminal ideas.
Since the author's remarks frequently place specific operas and particular performances in the context of cultural and
social history, of aesthetics and other disciplines, this
book would be of great interest to anyone interested in the
arts. I teach literature, not music or theater, and I
am finding it immensely useful as well as enjoyable.
Anyone interested in the mythic aspects of opera and
narrative art in general owe it to themselves to take a
serious look at this book. Leiris is the best kind of critic: an enthusiast who is insightful and not at all doctrinaire.
