A propos de cet article

Schroeder, David P. Cinema's illusions, opera's allure: the operatic impulse in film. New York: Continuum, 2002, xii, 372pp., very good dust-jacket, cover price $35.00, attractive copy, very good red hardcover. "The invention of cinema was ingenious, so much so that virtually no one quite knew what to do with it. In its earliest stages, especially with the advent of the feature film, it needed models, and opera proved to be especially useful in this regard. The allure of opera to cinema early in the century held up through the silent era, into sound films, through the golden age of movies, and into the most recent approaches to cinema. This book explores the numerous ways - some predictable, some unexpected, and some bizarre - in which this has happened.", "In Cinema's Illusions, Opera's Allure, David Schroeder provides a fascinating, well-researched and always entertaining account of the influence of one medium on another, and shows that opera can often be found lurking in the background (or booming in the foreground) of an impressive range of films.". - CONTENTS: Appropriation of Opera in Early Cinema -- Silent opera: DeMille's Carmen -- D.W. Griffith as a Wagnerian -- Stage fright: Phantom of the Opera -- A life at the opera -- Synesthesia: Alexander Nevsky as opera -- The Film Score -- The leitmotif -- Titles music as operatic overture -- Cinema Gives Opera the Finger -- Casting opera in our teeth: Chaplin's Carmen -- Attack of the anarchists: A Night at the Opera -- Deflated and flat: opera in Citizen Kane -- Bursting out into opera: Fellini's E la nave va -- The charming opera snob in Hannah and Her Sisters -- Wagner's Bastards -- Misreading Wagner: the politics of Lang's Siegfried -- Cinema as grand opera: politics, religion and DeMille -- Bombarding the senses: Apocalypse Now -- Wagnerian images of sound and sensuality -- Wagner's Ring cycle for adolescents: Star Wars -- What's opera, Doc? -- Cinema as Opera -- Dizzying illusion: Vertigo -- Carmen copies -- Operastruck -- Outing opera in Philadelphia -- Opera obsession -- Surrogate voice: Maria Callas as Medea -- Orpheus reincarnated -- Opera Returns as Cinema -- Finale: directors' operas. 9780826413925 ISBN 0826413927.…
