by Alison Latham (editor), Roger Parker (Editor)

Here, both scholars and music and stage practitioners reflect current thinking on matters such as "authentic" staging, performance practice, and the role of critical editions.

The first third of the book, devoted to the discussion of production books and "authentic" staging practises was very interesting, if not quite what I had expected.
