In January Opera News: Translating Opera (and Art Song)
I read Hugh Macdonald's "Language Barrier" in my print copy of the January 2011 Opera News, not available on line yet. I'll try to provide a link for friends later. (For benefit of readers from outside the area who find this post: Opera Vivente here in Baltimore performs in English.)

Can't wait to read this Clayton. Opera Vivente used Mr. Macdonald's wonderful translation of Pelléas and Mélisande last season. He is a brilliant individual and will certainly provide interesting insights into this issue.
ReplyDeleteHope you can read the article, John. Macdonald seems to cover all the bases and anticipate arguments. There are indeed some interesting insights. (Sorry about the spammer in first comment. Looks like I can delete the comment but not the user link.)
