| Abstract | This text offers clear guidance in making music visual. It proposes that performers study the opera's score third line--movement, focus, facial expression and vocal inflections that can be naturally derived from the interaction of text and music--to transform the score into reality on the stage. |
| Bibliography note | Includes bibliographical references (pages 229-237) and index. |
