{"product_id":"wagner-and-the-art-of-patrick-carnegy-9780300197150","title":"Wagner and the Art of the Theatre","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe production of Wagner's operas is fiercely debated. In this groundbreaking stage history Patrick Carnegy vividly evokes the--often scandalous--great productions that have left their mark not only on our understanding of Wagner but on modern theatre as a whole. He examines the way in which Wagner himself staged his works, showing that the composer remained dissatisfied with even the best of his productions.\u003cbr\u003eAfter Wagner's death the scenic challenge was taken up by the Swiss visionary Adolphe Appia, by Gustav Mahler and Alfred Roller in Vienna, and by Otto Klemperer and Ewald D lberg in Berlin. In Russia the Bolsheviks reinvented Wagner as a social revolutionary, while cinema left its indelible imprint on the Wagnerian stage with Eisenstein's \u003ci\u003eDie Walk re \u003c\/i\u003ein Moscow in 1940.\u003cbr\u003eHitler famously appropriated Wagner for his own ends. Patrick Carnegy unscrambles the interaction of politics and stage production, describing how post-war German directors sought a way to bury the uncomfortable past. The book concludes with a critique of the iconoclastic interpretations by Patrice Ch reau, Ruth Berghaus, and Hans-J rgen Syberberg.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patrick Carnegy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300197152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300197150\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/10\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 6.60w x 1.00d","brand":"Patrick Carnegy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44076004507903,"sku":"9780300197150","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cc0d2254-b7fa-43e6-9c4d-5860ee2f9a51.jpg?v=1685462642","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/wagner-and-the-art-of-patrick-carnegy-9780300197150","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
