Essays on opera from the perspective of women, gender and lesbian studies, asking whether opera, long seen as a Eurocentric bastion of high culture, has in fact subverted patriarchal authority. Contributors examine trouser roles, the women who sang and loved them, diva worship, and lesbian desire in and around the opera house.
