Opera after 1900

This volume reprints articles that cover an array of significant twentieth-century operas and critical questions about them. The anthologized articles are organized according to the place of origin of the operas discussed in each of them. In contrast, the introduction follows a thematic approach and considers questions of genre and reception; perspectives on librettos and librettists; words, lyricism, and roles of the orchestra; and modernism and other political contexts.
