Table of ContentsReviewsKnown to Australian audiences as the founder of Perth's Giovanni Consort and through his appearances with ensembles like The Song Company and West Australian Symphony Orchestra, Sutherland's research has been shaped by an interest in music performance by young people. That work seems to culminate in this compelling, well-researched book, a musicological survey of over 100 operas that include children. [...] The breadth of material Sutherland manages to bring together in this well-written, cohesive book is frequently impressive, and he writes about Australian composers and productions with particular relish and expertise. The Australians featured are Malcolm Williamson, Elena Kats-Chernin, Iain Grandage and Richard Mills, whose works featuring children are ably illuminated by Sutherland's inquiring mind and deep research. Passion and seriousness of purpose underpins Children in Opera [which] is a must-read for anyone interested in opera history.

He has published journal articles on a range of topics relating to music performance, music education, and musicology. Having taught music at all levels in Australia, the UK, and Hong Kong, his interest in music performance by young people has consequently guided much of his research. He has performed throughout the world as a tenor, and his love of opera developed after watching a performance of Britten’s Turn of the Screw at His Majesty’s Theatre in Perth, Australia. He later performed in many operas on the same stage with the West Australian Opera Company. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
