Reviews

Starting from the premise that opera is always already a hypermediated art form, this is a very timely examination of the use of new media in operatic production to unsettle the established media hierarchies of opera. The investigation employs considerable theoretical sophistication to offer new ways of thinking critically and politically about the implications of new media for the forms of opera today, positing a 'politics of perception' beyond the more familiar politics of representation. * Nicholas Till, University of Sussex *
