Full Description
"Bodily Charm" is a passionate defence of opera as a living as well as live art. Written for both the opera lover and the specialist by a physician and a literary critic, it is an accessible and engaging interdisciplinary exploration of the operatic body - both the actual physical bodies of the singers and audience members and the represented body on stage in operas such as "Death in Venice", "Salome", "Rigoletto", "Der Ring des Nibelungen", and "Elektra". Linda Hutcheon is a professor of English and comparative literature at the University of Toronto. She is the author of a number of books, most recently "Irony's Edge: The Theory and Politics of Irony". Michael Hutcheon, M.D., is a professor of medicine at the University of Toronto. The Hutcheons are coauthors of "Opera: Desire, Disease, Death" (Nebraska 1996).
