Presents the study of Kurt Weill's complete stage works. This title shows how Weill's experiments with a range of genres - from one-act operas and plays with music to Broadway musicals and film-opera - became an indispensable part of the reforms he promoted during his brief but intense career.
"Meticulously reasearched and offering abundant references . . . By carefully documenting the continuity of the experiments that Weill carried out in his musical theatre in Europe and the United States, this book succeeds in assessing the work of one of the key reformers of twentieth-century musical theatre."
