Tracing the offstage/onstage workings of this famed New York institution, Charles Affron and Mirella Jona Affron tell how the Met became and remains a powerful actor on the global cultural scene. In this first new history of the company in thirty years, each of the chronologically sequenced chapters surveys a composer or a slice of the repertoire and brings to life dominant personalities and memorable performances of the time. From the opening night Faust to the recent controversial production of Wagner's "Ring," Grand Opera is a remarkable account of management and audience response to the push and pull of tradition and reinvention. Spanning the decades between the Gilded Age and the age of new media, this story of the Met concludes by tipping its hat to the hugely successful "Live in HD" simulcasts and other twenty-first-century innovations. Grand Opera's appeal extends far beyond the large circle of opera enthusiasts. Drawing on unpublished documents from the Metropolitan Opera Archives, reviews, recordings, and much more, this richly detailed book looks at the Met in the broad context of national and international issues and events. 606 $aElectronic books 606 $aMUSIC / Genres & Styles / Opera$2bisacsh 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aElectronic books. 615 7$aMUSIC / Genres & Styles / Opera. 676 $a792.509747/1 700 $aAffron$b Charles$0155352 702 $aAffron$b Mirella Jona$f1937- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464469503321 996 $aGrand opera$92464222 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03706nam 2200601 450 001 9910480099303321 005 20180613001305.0 010 $a1-4704-0422-2 035 $a(CKB)3360000000465005 035 $a(EBL)3114239 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000973312 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11552361 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000973312 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10960111 035 $a(PQKB)10828997 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3114239 035 $a(PPN)195417097 035 $a(EXLCZ)993360000000465005 100 $a20041027h20052005 uy| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aLocal zeta functions attached to the minimal spherical series for a class of symmetric spaces /$fNicole Bopp, Hubert Rubenthaler 210 1$aProvidence, Rhode Island :$cAmerican Mathematical Society,$d[2005] 210 4$d©2005 215 $a1 online resource (250 p.) 225 1 $aMemoirs of the American Mathematical Society,$x0065-9266 ;$vnumber 821 300 $a"Volume 174, number 821 (first of 4 numbers)." 311 $a0-8218-3623-4 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references (pages 227-230) and index. 327 $a""Table of Contents""; ""Introduction""; ""Chapter 1.
