The Opera Singer and the Silent Film

Film technology in the early 20th century opened up a new world for the motion picture industry. Opera, relying on melodramatic storylines and pantomime acting, was an ideal subject for early silents. This book examines the relationship between the established operatic stars of the late 19th century and the newly developing motion picture industry.
