What causes people to be moved by opera? How is it that people may become more informed about living and their own lives? \u003cem\u003eSeeing Opera Anew \u003c\/em\u003eaddresses these fundamental questions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost approaches to opera present information solely from the humanities, providing musical, literary, and historical interpretations, but this book offers a \"stereo\" perspective, adding insights from the sciences closely related to human life, including evolutionary biology, psychology, anthropology, and neuroscience.
