Editorial Reviews
Review
'A rewarding as well as a provocative piece of work.' Musical Times

Review
"Reading Opera between the Lines raises important and intriguing questions that should be of interest to any scholars and music lovers concerned with the cultural significance of orchestral music in opera." The Opera Quarterly

"Morris's thoughtful and well-produced book (including numerous musical examples of high quality) contains a wealth of stimulating insights into those sections of operas that are often interpreted in purely diagetic and reflective terms. As an engaging writer (even in the more abstruse sections), he makes for rewarding reading, even for those not so well versed in certain aspects of critical discourse as the author obviously is. On a pragmatic note, this book should surely be required reading for all opera conductors, some of whom I suspect remain unaware of the possible significance of many of the orchestral interludes they so often direct." Notes

"A slim, well-packed book to study and ponder. Recommended." The Opera Journal
