It considers the works by Handel, Mozart, Donizetti, Verdi, Wagner, Puccini, and Berio, aiming to challenge what many regard as sacroscant: the opera's musical text.

An aesthetic, historical, and theoretical study of four scores, Russian Opera and the Symbolist Movement is a groundbreaking and imaginative treatment of the important yet neglected topic of Russian opera in the Silver Age.
