""Persuasively argued and filled with lively and approachable details, ‘A New Philosophy of Opera’ brims with Mr. Sharon’s passion for the form . . . His own productions, discussed in the book, offer fascinating examples of how Mr. Sharon rethinks and recombines opera’s basic elements of text, music and theater in ways that upend expectations."" -- Heidi Waleson - Wall Street Journal ""Yuval Sharon’s ‘A New Philosophy of Opera’ is a refreshing, reassuring book about an old art form’s bright future . . . Opera has always been less like fiction and more like poetry, says the author: ‘looser, more associative, and more interested in potential meanings that arise from familiar words being used in unfamiliar ways.’ Whether rethinking an old work or creating a new one, Sharon means to keep it that way."" -- David Kirby - The Washington Post ""[I]n this treatise for the artform… Sharon is most compelling when writing from personal experience, particularly when highlighting the differences between opera in Germany and the US."" -- Claire Jackson - BBC Music Magazine ""[Sharon] challenges the status quo and proposes radical new ways to present operas new and old. Expect insight, originality and some contentious views that will stimulate debate."" -- Richard Fairman - Financial Times
