Description

Explore the connection between music and theatre in Peter Grimes (The Fourth Wall). While Benjamin Britten and Montagu Slater's work is widely recognized as one of the most influential operas of the 20th century, this book argues that it also stands as one of British theatre's finest lost plays. Author Sam Kinchin-Smith moves beyond traditional opera and theatre criticism to examine the work from a new perspective. The text asks whether an opera created like a play and capable of being staged as a play should be considered a play itself. By identifying this theatrical engine, the book investigates how this aspect contributes to the success and influence of the piece. This is an essential read for students and scholars interested in the intersection of operatic tradition and dramatic structure.
