Le théâtre musical de Luciano Berio

"The two volumes [...] explore and analyse chronologically Luciano Berio's six major works of musical theatre (in the first volume, Passaggio, Opera and La Vera Storia; in the second one, Un re in ascolto, Outis and Cronaca del Luogo). Each section, dedicated to a single work, is featured by a documentary text that offers a general overview of the sources, the structure, the history of the performance and the state of research on the composition; [...] followed by essays that explore in-depth Berio's theatrical world on different perspectives: musical analysis, dramaturgy and scenic space, the relationship with the tradition, and Berio's collaboration both with the authors of the texts and with all other persons involved in the productions."--Centro studi Luciano Berio (web site).
