Description
Performing Opera: A Practical Guide for Singers and Directors by Michael Ewans provides a comprehensive workbook to help performers and directors navigate the complexities of opera. Through in-depth analysis of 24 operas, including works by Gluck, Mozart, Britten, and Tippett, Ewans illustrates how opera functions as a dramatic form. The book offers detailed insights into the unique challenges and skills required by performers and directors, drawing on examples from performances of thirty scenes and five whole operas.

With its practical approach and close analysis of performances by first-rate singers and celebrated directors, Performing Opera is a valuable guide for anyone involved in the world of opera.
