Five Performing Arts (New York Review Books Collections)

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Does an opera producer do anything besides tell the singers where to stand? Can a single note be played more or less beautifully on the piano? Five Performing Arts addresses these topics through intriguing essays: Tom Stoppard considers controlling how an audience gleans information from watching a play, Charles Rosen reflects on the physical relationship between the musician and the instrument, and Jonathan Miller describes ways of restoring dramatic motivation to the best-loved operas. Witty, surprising, and always insightful, this collection is essential reading for all theatrical, musical, and film aficionados.
