Review of David J. Levin, Unsettling Opera: Staging Mozart, Verdi, Wagner, and Zemlinsky (University of Chicago Press, 2007).
November 2008, Volume 2, Number 3, 87–8.
In the present, relatively short book, Levin, from his twinned viewpoints of academic and practitioner, presents little less than a wholesale manifesto for that new musicology in action in the field of opera. Some of his individual chapters focus on significant recent stage productions.
