New Music Theatre in Europe Transformations between 1955-1975

This excellent collection of insightful, rich, and sometimes genuinely provocative readings of a kaleidoscope of music theatrical practices from a diverse, but uniformly first-rate panel of scholars, consistently delivers fresh insights into not only what the music theatre of the post-war era meant then, but also how it might still speak today. - Martin Iddon, University of Leeds, UK

With a strong array of contributors, this collection reveals how conceptions of music theatre from the long 1960s challenged established conventions of music. The volume combines historical depth with insights on how trends in music theatre resonate with the current interest in music as a multi-media experience. - Alastair Williams, Keele University, UK
