Synopsis

An incisive and impassioned examination of women's treatment in opera.

Catherine ClÉment analyzes the plots of over thirty prominent operas-Otello and Siegfried to Madame Butterfly and The Magic Flute-through the lenses of feminism and literary theory to unveil the negative messages about women in stories familiar to every opera listener.
