Abstract

en_US Here is a quick summary from the website of the publisher Ex Machina: "Extensively illustrated and presenting many new documents, this book recounts the journey taken by Ex Machina’s creative team, from Vietnam to France and even Quebec. The reader is invited behind the scenes of a fascinating production where opera meets with puppet art. Winner of the Claude-Rostand Prize awarded by the Syndicat de la critique en France for best lyrical production created outside Paris (Aix-en-Provence), The Nightingale and Other Short Fables, a collage of some of Igor Stravinsky’s works, is praised everywhere with equal enthusiasm since its debut in Toronto in October 2009." This unusual booklet is apparently something of a souvenir program then for an opera of the same title. Chapters present the musical, literary, scenic, and cultural background. The musical background is a collage of some of Igor Stravinsky's works, including ""Le Rossignol," "Renard," "Fables," and "Ragtime." At least some of the action is played out in silhouette and at least some by puppets. The cultural background seems to involve both Vietnam and China. Perhaps I will sometime have a chance to view a performance!
