Know about the book -

Lesbian/Opera is written by Emily Wilbourne and published by Lyrebird Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 073403797X (ISBN 10) and 9780734037978 (ISBN 13).

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. Interviews with Elena Kats-Chernin and Kathleen Mary Fallon are incorporated in an appendix.
