Description
Blackness in Opera critically examines the intersections of race and music in opera. This collection brings together diverse scholars to explore how blackness has been represented in operas, from well-known works like Porgy and Bess to lesser-known pieces such as Koanga by Frederick Delius. The book delves into issues surrounding characterization of blacks, interpretation of racialized roles, controversies over race in the theatre, and the use of blackface. It also features reflections by renowned American tenor George Shirley, alongside essays from a wide range of contributors.
