Shows how opera, in its own cultural arena, distinct from philosophy, has repeatedly brought to the stage the changing relations of the subject to the particular metaphysics it presumes. This book details interactions of song, words, drama, and sounds used by creators of opera to fill in the outlines of the subjectivities they envisioned.
