Inside Bluebeard's Castle: Music and Drama in Bela Bartok's Opera

By Carl S. Leafstedt

Book Overview

The first full-length examination of Bart k's 1911 opera Duke Bluebeard's Castle, this is an authoritative study of one of the twentieth century's enduring operatic works. Leafstedt adopts a broad approach to the study of opera by introducing, in addition to the expected music-dramatic analysis, topics of a more interdisciplinary nature that are new to the field of Bart k studies.
