Inhaltsangabe

An important contribution to understanding the relationship between opera and film, this book argues that opera can reveal something fundamental about a film, and vice versa. Drawing on diverse cinematic traditions, the study explores landmark repertoire including Coppola's Godfather trilogy, Chabrol's La Cérémonie, Jewison's Moonstruck, Boyd's Aria, and Ponnelle's opera-films.

Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

'Citron provides a fascinating, detailed study of the interrelationship between opera and film across several specific films and a number of the opera/films of Jean-Pierre Ponnelle ... This book will make readers want to view the films in question to consider the issues Citron explores and the subjective interpretations she employs. Even those who do not agree with her will find that they will never again view the films in the same way.' Choice
