Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1955 and 1975 music theatre became a central preoccupation for European composers digesting the consequences of the revolutionary experiments in musical language that followed the end of the Second World War. The ‘new music theatre’ wrought multiple, significant transformations, serving as a crucible for the experimental rethinking of theatrical traditions, artistic genres, the conventions of performance, and the composer’s relation to society. This volume brings together leading specialists from across Europe to offer a new appraisal of the genre. It is structured according to six themes that investigate: the relation of new music theatre to earlier and contemporaneous theories of drama; the use of new technologies; the relation of new music theatre to progressive politics; the role of new venues and environments; the advancement of new conceptions of the performer; and the challenges that new music theatre lays down for music analysis. Contributing authors address canonical works by composers such as Berio, Birtwistle, Henze, Kagel, Ligeti, Nono, and Zimmermann, but also expand the field to figures and artistic developments not regularly represented in existing music histories. Particular attention is given to new music theatre as a site of intense exchange – between practitioners of different art forms, across national borders, and with diverse mediating institutions.

This book, written for the reader who comes from the contemporary worlds of music, theater, film, literature, and visual arts, provides a wealth of examples and descriptions, not only of the works themselves but of the concepts, ideas and trends that have gone into the evolution of what may be the most central performance art form of the post-modern world."--BOOK JACKET.

Book excerpt: The book examines the early history of music theatre in Romania in the nineteenth century and how it was instrumentalised as a vehicle for the overall modernization and Europeanization of the country. It deals with the complex interaction between the aristocrats, who imported the opera, the local public, the foreign power holders in the time of the Russian Protectorate and the opera companies and musicians who came to Romania and shaped the musical life of the country.

Book excerpt: Over the past 20 years European theatre underwent fundamental changes in terms of aesthetic focus, institutional structure and in its position in society. The impetus for these changes was provided by a new generation in the independent theatre scene. This book brings together studies on the state of independent theatre in different European countries, focusing on the fields of dance and performance, children and youth theatre, theatre and migration and post-migrant theatre. Additionally, it includes essays on experimental musical theatre and different cultural policies for independent theatre scenes in a range of European countries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book attempts a first definition that brings under the heading "New Singing Theatre" all the disparate works loosely known as musical theatre, everything from Broadway musicals to complex chamber works by avant-garde composers, through voguish multimedia events to whittled-down traditional opera too embarrassed to call itself opera. The book also is a first blueprint for the new form which has so rapidly evolved from anticipatory works in the 1920s and 1930s to the flowering of new works and new ways in the years since World War II. Based on Bawtree's worldwide experience working in the U.S., Canada, England, the Soviet Union, Germany, and Cuba, The New Singing Theatre will be required reading for all those concerned with staging dramatic works with music--producers, directors, administrators, designers, and singing actors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the mid-1800s in Europe there was a vigorous and enthusiastic expansion of diverse forms of musical theatre. The cabarets, music-halls and private theatres rubbed shoulders with the subsidised and official theatres that offered more established types of spectacle, creating a milieu which welcomed a number of new musical and theatrical genres which fed from and into one another. In the midst of this creative dynamism, alongside revues and café-concert spectacles, operetta and its derivative forms took centre stage. Divided into six sections, the volume covers the revue de fin d'année as a theatrical genre which also influenced all other lighter genres in France during its heyday ; dance music in Offenbach's operettas and his musical recreation of the Parisian soundscape ; transformation of the opera repertoire in operetta and revue parodies ; Viennese and English operetta and musical comedy from the end of the 'reign' of Gilbert and Sullivan until the outbreak of World War II ; diverse theatrical practices from Parisian puppet theatre and the posters of musical spectacles in the café conchantant, to contemporary Italian operetta before the rise of Fascism, and its dissemination, via the impresario Vittorio Rosi, in Japan.
