520 |a The essays in the present book, written by an international group of scholars, try to answer these - and many other - questions by initi­ting a dialogue between academic and artistic research. Behind all the essays is a mixture of fascination and dissatisfaction with today's performances of drama and opera classics, particularly those that take place in historic theatres, and those operating within the so-called Historically Informed Performance movement. The essays reflect a desire to develop and expand the methods traditionally used by theatre historians. And they present a variety of angles on today's performances in historic theatres and on today's attempts to revive theatrical practices of the past. The anthology is essential reading for theatre scholars and musicolo­gists studying eighteenth-century performance as well as for theatre and opera artists concerned with period performance practice.
