Product details
Women have been composing opera in Australia since 1905, yet until very recently few of those works were staged, commissions were rare and revivals were non-existent. Happily, a sea-change in the last two decades has seen an upsurge in opera composition by women and those operas are now performed all over the world by first-rate ensembles and capable casts. Essays in this volume examine operas composed by thirteen women born or resident in Australia-Anne Boyd, Deborah Cheetham Fraillon, Florence Ewart, Helen Gifford, Peggy Glanville-Hicks, Andrée Greenwell, Cat Hope, Elena Kats-Chernin, Liz Lim, Mona McBurney, Kate Neal, Johanna Selleck and Margaret Sutherland.
Foreword by Deborah Cheetham Fraillon. With contributions from Ty Bouque, Jacinta Dennett, Louise Jenkins, Pamela Karantonis, Linda Kouvaras, Sally Macarthur, Aidan McGartland, Stephen Mould, Faye Patton, Jaslyn Robertson, Suzanne Robinson, Helen Rusak, Johanna Selleck and Sue Tweg.
