| Abstract | Filmmakers have been fascinated with opera since the earliest days of silent film, and the many adaptations of opera for the screen underscore both the affinities and differences between these two media. Despite the century-long. mutual attraction between opera and cinema, there are but a handful of book-length studies devoted to the topic. By offering a mapping out of some of the richly ambivalent spaces between the two forms of representation, this volume stimulates more dialogue within and beyond the growing community of opera cinema studies. |
