The editors have done a terrific job in bringing together not only the most appropriate but also the most stimulating and exciting of contributors." --Linda Hutcheon, author of A Theory of Adaptation "[T]he book ... present[s] the reader with a strong and very varied attempt to discuss the relation between Wagner, opera and cinema and includes a vast array of densely detailed information covering large historical periods in many of its well-written essays." --Screening the Past, Issue 29 "A useful resource for serious students of film, theater, and/or music, the book includes numerous photos, and helpful music notation enhances the text... Recommended." --Choice "[Wagner and Cinema] looks at the plethora of senses in which Wagner's music and different kinds of Wagnerian reception histories have informed cinematic production throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries...Wagner and Cinema is a text that will no doubt be consulted for many years henceforward." - Nathan Waddell, Scope, Issue 24, 2012 Read more...
