- Summary:
- 'Opera in the Jazz Age' examines the place of opera in the contemporary 'battle of the brows': a debate, prompted by the growth of the mass entertainment industry, about the extent to which art forms ought to be labelled 'highbrow', 'middlebrow', or 'lowbrow'. The text considers this question from a number of viewpoints, examining topics including: the audience for opera during the period; opera's interactions with forms of popular culture including jazz, film, and middlebrow novels; and the ways in which different types and nationalities of opera were categorised differently.
