| Summary: | This work presents an introduction to Shinkyoku Urashima (1904), a so-called "new musical drama" by the Japanese writer and intellectual Tsubouchi Shoyo. Shinkyoku Urashima builds on ideas Shoyo first asserted in the 1880s and to some extent looks forward to his Shakespeare translation and later original works, as well as reflecting his wider interests in Japanese music and dance drama. He has great interest in the ideas of Richard Wagner and the resulting work was neither Wagnerian nor necessarily operatic but did attempt a Wagnerian fusion of music and drama. |
