Harrison Birtwistle: The Mask of Orpheus - Landmarks in Music Since 1950 1st edition

The Mask of Orpheus is viewed as a key work in the development of opera since the Second World War, that pushed at the boundaries of what was possible in lyrical theatre. In its imaginative fusion of music, song, drama, myth, mime and electronics, it has become the object of wide critical attention.
