How is our understanding of Opera changing through the use of DVD's? Roger Parker, Gresham Professor of Music, explains why the advent of DVD's has retextualised opera, as did audio recording before that, calling for a new method of critical engagement. This is an extract from the lecture 'Film Music: Opera'. Two further extracts are available here on YouTube, but the full lecture can be downloaded (like all of our lectures) in from the Gresham College website, in video, audio or text formats: http://www.gresham.ac.uk Gresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597. This tradition continues today with all of our five or so public lectures a week being made available for free download from our website.
