The Third Line: The Opera Performer As Interpreter

By William O. Beeman and Daniel Helfgot

Book Overview

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.
