The third of his four
T. S. Eliot
Memorial Lectures on Secondary Worlds-Art and Truth
3: The Mythical World of Opera
Sensible people may ' feel like singing ' but they do not break into sorm. Yet in the world which opera can create it is accepted that there are occasions when song alone is adequate. What are the emotions and concepts which can best be conveyed through a union of the dynamic art of music, the virtuoso art of singing, a melodramatic plot. and wilfully passionate characters who insist upon their fate? Mr. Auden examines the relation between musical and verbal statements and illustrates from his own experience of writing libretti.
The lectures, endowed by T. S. Eliot 's publishers. Faber and Faber. were delivered in the University of Kent in October and recorded at the time for the Third Programme.
