Bøker av Emily Richmond (Associate Professor Pollock

During the reconstruction of West Germany's cultural life after World War II, opera resumed its central place in civic life, but German cultural traditions were tainted by the horrors of National Socialism. Emily Richmond Pollock's Opera After the Zero Hour explores composers' experiments to find expressive strategies and traditional reference points could still work for new opera, and promotes a more nuanced understanding of the relationship between operaand modernism.
