"Aspects of Modern Opera: Estimates and Inquiries" by Lawrence Gilman is a critical examination of modern operatic art, likely written in the early 20th century. The book discusses the influence of figures like Wagner, Puccini, and Strauss on contemporary opera, analyzing their contributions and the subsequent developments in the genre. It explores the evolution of operatic expression and the tensions between music and drama in modern works. The opening of the text sets the stage for an in-depth inquiry into the aftermath of Wagner's impactful legacy on opera. Gilman reflects on the general decline of creative vitality in opera after Wagner's death, suggesting that while his influence has been substantial, it has also stifled originality among his successors. He critiques the limitations of several composers, particularly in the context of their inability to break free from Wagnerian principles, ultimately leading to a discussion of the few artists—like Puccini and Strauss—who successfully navigate their own paths in the evolving landscape of opera.
