Reviews
"Sing Sorrow is one of those rare books that need to exist, and when you come across it you can't believe it took this long for someone to write it. It is hard-headed, bi-learned at very least, practical, useful, wide-ranging in scope and theme, monumental though compact, and by the time it reaches a revised, second edition will cross the bar from an excellent to a great work."- Arion, "The insight that McDonald often brings to her discussion make the book an important addition to libraries, academic collections, and resources for the professional historian of opera."- The Opera Quarterly, "With Sing Sorrow, McDonald has not only written a major contribution to the study of music and literature and pioneered the particular study of opera and the classics, but--to switch metaphors just a bit--broken trail for others who would pioneer their own double studies, be they on the classics and Renaissance art, instrumental music, or (shudder!) George Lucas." Arion, "McDonald has done an extraordinary service to scholars by providing them with the most complete list of operas based on classical subjects now available, grouping them by composer, and organizing these works according to the composer's date of birth. The resulting list alone would make Sing Sorrow worth having in a reference library, even if it were not for the book's other contributions."- The Opera Quarterly, "The insight that McDonald often brings to her discussion make the book an important addition to libraries, academic collections, and resources for the professional historian of opera."

Marianne McDonald's book, which comes with recomendations by eminent authorities including Bernard Knox, George Huxley, and James Diggle, is therefore particularly welcome."

Synopsis
Opera has often used classical literature as a means of expressing the most vital concerns of the period in which the operas were written. Sing Sorrow explores the classical roots of many noted operas, illustrating the ways in which the operas reflected the political concerns of their time through these ancient narratives. In particular, though female opera characters are often regarded as victims, they are actually quite heroic, frequently shaping their own destinies. Each chapter provides background and historical context, examines the relationship between the opera and the original work of literature, and suggests what the music contributes to the interpretation. Through the lens of the classics, Sing Sorrow approaches opera from a unique aesthetic and cultural standpoint, giving a new perspective to both opera and its literary and dramatic ancestors.
