Lesbian/Opera. Elena Kats-Chernin’s Iphis and Matricide: The Musical by Emily Wilbourne
Taking opera as an explicitly gendered phenomenon, Emily Wilbourne interrogates the position of the female composer in relationship to her work. With reference to Elena Kats-Chernin’s operas Iphis and Matricide: The Musical, both of which depict a lesbian relationship, and drawing upon interviews with the composer herself, Wilbourne produces an audacious analysis of the relationship of gender and opera, providing arresting insights into the work of one of Australia’s most admired composers.
Emily Wilbourne is Associate Professor of Musicology at Queens College and the Graduate Center in the City University of New York.
