Affect In Opera

Affect in Opera is a dramaturgical construct that identifies and systematizes the emotional expressivity and psychological intensity generated through music, gesture, text, and staging in operatic performance, distinguishing it from broader theatrical affect by its reliance on the symbiosis between vocal embodiment and musical syntax to produce specific emotional states in performers and spectators.
