In 2018, audiences in the millions are watching opera productions on screens. The twenty-first century has seen a formidable increase in filmed broadcasting of opera from productions in major opera houses and audiences can now watch live or relayed productions from the comfort of their local cinema or home. The increase in broadcasting has heightened the need to talk about acting within opera. Acting on the operatic stage has been a historically contentious issue; although opera prizes the virtuosity of the human singing voice, opera singers have always been critiqued on their ability to match their singing body with relevant acting craft. An examination of the historical relationship between opera and film, as well as opera and acting, establishes the influences and the challenges that opera has had in evolving alongside theatre and screen. A review of opera singing pedagogy, operatic structure, and stagecraft further reveals the inherent differences that set opera aside from other forms of theatre, film, and television. This study then explores changes in acting within contemporary opera broadcasts by assessing criticism and feedback from the opera community. Analysis of filmed productions and the effect of current cinematography and high definition technology provides insight into the effect of media on our perception of stagecraft and raises further questions around genre and artistic agency.

Mario Lanza: A Life in Pictures is a stunning collection of nearly 200 photographs and illustrations that captures the fabulous and tumultuous times of the greatest romantic tenor of the twentieth century. Compiled by acclaimed Lanza biographer Derek Mannering, who drew on the exclusive photo collection of the tenor's closest friend, Terry Robinson, the book offers a revealing glimpse into the private and public world of this great singing star. With Terry Robinson's vast anthology of Lanza memorabilia at his disposal, the author has assembled an unrivalled pictorial history of the tenor's extraordinary life and career, from his childhood in Philadelphia, his first tentative steps towards a career in the opera house, the unexpected about-turn that led to the glory days in Hollywood, and on through to the sudden and tragic ending in Rome in 1959. Many of the extremely rare photographs featured here are appearing in print for the first time, and all are backed up by Derek Mannering's authoritative and compelling narrative. In addition, personal comments by Terry Robinson about the pictures are also featured throughout the book. Bregman. Few careers in show business have been as colourful or as controversial as Mario Lanza's. Groomed for a professional life on the opera stage, Lanza instead got waylaid by Hollywood where, through films like The Great Caruso, he thrilled moviegoers with his magnificent voice and dazzling personality. His films and recordings were hugely influential in shaping the careers of countless young opera singers, The Three Tenors especially, and to this day Lanza continues to be seen as the crossover artist supreme. Mario Lanza: A Life in Pictures is a unique collaboration between Lanza's best biographer and his closest friend, a priceless pictorial souvenir that will be cherished by music lovers and film historians everywhere.

Blessed with one of the great tenor voices of all time, Mario Lanza (1921-1959) rose to spectacular heights in a film, recording, and concert career that spanned little more than a decade. Groomed at the outset for a career on the opera stage, Lanza instead flourished in Hollywood where his films, most notably The Great Caruso, broke box-office records the world over and influenced the careers of countless musicians. To this day, the Three Tenors cite him as an inspiration for their own careers on the classical stage. Lanza's recordings for RCA sold in the millions, and he remains the crossover artist supreme. But his tremendous success was derailed by his self-destructive lifestyle, and by age thirty-eight he was dead, with his extraordinary promise left unfulfilled. Newly revised and updated for its first U.S. edition, Mario Lanza: Singing to the Gods is the definitive account of the remarkable life and times of one of the twentieth century's most beloved singing stars. This richly detailed work also contains a selection of rare photographs, several of which are drawn from Lanza's estate. With the support of Lanza's daughter, Ellisa Lanza Bregman, the tenor's colleagues, and his closest friend, Terry Robinson, Derek Mannering has chronicled a fascinating and unforgettable life. From the fabulous successes of the early MGM years through the disastrous walkouts and cancellations that sent Lanza's career into freefall, Mannering objectively and movingly reveals the story of a great star torn apart by his own troubled psyche and undisciplined lifestyle.

"Confessions of an Opera Singer" is the autobiography of Kathleen Howard, a Metropolitan Opera star from 1916 through 1928. Turning to film acting after her voice broke, Kathleen Howard was also an accomplished writer who served on the staff of Harper's Bazaar. She made her first movie appearance, appropriately cast as an Italian grande dame, in Death Takes a Holiday. Generations of W.C. Fields fans have doted upon Howard's full-blooded portrayals of Fields' virago wife in It's a Gift and The Man on the Flying Trapeze. Toning down her screen mannerisms a bit, Kathleen Howard spent her last decade in films in such supporting roles. "Confessions of an Opera Singer" provides a great overview of what life was like for a Metropolitan Opera star in the early 1900's, and remains a fascinating read.(cover image courtesy of Crystal Church)

A prominent star in both pre-Revolutionary Russia and New York, Lina Cavalieri, described as "the most beautiful woman in the world," was one of the most frequently photographed personalities of her time. The cabaret performer, courtesan, and international star is documented in this, her first English-language biography. Researched from Russian archive sources, the book details her career from her early experiences in cafe-chantant and variety theatre in Paris, London, and St. Petersburg, through a highly successful operatic career in which she sang in many of the world's leading opera houses with such celebrities as Caruso and Ruffo. In 1914, Cavalieri became the first great opera singer to appear in silent movies, making her debut in Manon Lescaut and continuing with a series of successful films. Her life was ended by an Allied air raid in World War II. The book includes excerpts from period reviews, programmes, posters, and many previously unseen photographs. Appendices include a bibliography, filmography, discography, and chronology of stage performances (dates, venues, work, cast, conductor).
