Description

In the 1950s, American opera composers and librettists latched onto the age-old paradigm of woman as either virgin or whore, with no middle ground; women thus appeared poised to become opera's inevitable victims once again. With chapters on The Tender Land, Susannah, The Ballad of Baby Doe, and Lizzie Borden: A Family Portrait, this book acknowledges Catherine Clément's famous assertion of opera as "the undoing of women." At the same time, it illuminates how singers like Beverly Sills and Phyllis Curtin worked to resist that seemingly inevitable "undoing," years before the official resurgence of the American feminist movement.
