Operatic Narratives: Textual Transformations in Gwen Harwood and Larry Sitsky's Golem and Lenz Alison Wood , 2006 single work criticism
— Appears in: JASAL , no. 5 2006; (p. 179-191) Wood seeks to 'map textual transformation in Harwood's and Sitsky's operas, examining the hybrid elements that give rise to formal exaggeration'. She 'explore[s] the interrelationship of three critical elements: words/music, the visuality of performance and collaborative practice. This mapping aims to illuminate how such interrelationships produce formal exaggeration and, ultimately, the textual transformations observed.'
