Music Theatre since 1990 - Schott Music

FOREWORD
Dear reader,
This new catalogue bears witness to the wide variety of music theatre published by Schott Music
since 1990. We opted for a chronological listing according to the year of each work’s premiere,
because we felt that this would give an interesting picture of what has happened in these years
- as well as encouraging you to look at works you might have missed if we had listed things
alphabetically!
If you would like to have further information or samples about any work we would be delighted
to send this to you. Just email us at infoservice@schott-music.com
Some practical details on using this handbook:
• The operas are listed chronologically from 1990 to March 2009
• We have not included music theatre for children and young people: you can find this repertoire
in our catalogue “Kinder brauchen Theater – Musiktheater für Kinder und Jugendliche”
(KAT 33-99). This is available on our website or we can send it to you.
• Each work is presented in the same way:
title – date(s) of development – language(s) of the text – characters / voices – instrumentation
– duration – information on performance materials – any special features – performances
– short synopsis – quote from a review or a short explanation by the composer
• At the back you will find an index, cross-referenced for names of composers or librettists,
operas without a chorus, operas lasting under 70 minutes or operas with special topics or
literary themes.
We look forward to hearing from you!
