An important contribution to understanding the relationship between opera and film, this book argues that opera can reveal something fundamental about a film, and vice versa. Drawing on diverse cinematic traditions, the study explores landmark repertoire including Coppola's Godfather trilogy, Chabrol's La Cérémonie, Jewison's Moonstruck, Boyd's Aria, and Ponnelle's opera-films.
