오페라는 극과 음악을 한데 섞는다고 하는 음악극의 특성 때문에 종종 '극 위주의 오페라' 혹은 '음악위주의 오페라'의 하나로 경도되는 경우가 많다. 오페라 창작을 할 때에 범하기가 쉬운 이러한 오류를 극복하고 두 극단의 균형점이라는 이상적 지향점을 이룬 역사적 선례는 푸치니 오페라 <라보엠>에서 찾을 수 있다. 작곡가 푸치니와 대본작가 일리카와 지아코자가 두 극단에 경도되지 않고 균형점을 찾을 수 있었던 것은 이들이 원작인 뮈르제의 소설 "보헤미안의 생활 정경"의 색깔을 유지하면서 동시에 가장 오페라적인 인물 및 이야기를 재구성함으로써 가능했다. 이들이 택한 전략은 '사건과 인물의 단순화', '낭만화와 인물의 재창조' 및 '분위기의 사실주의적 묘사' 로 요약할 수 있다. 이들의 각색 전략과 그 결과 탄생된 이 오페라의 '에피소드적' 성질은 새로운 창작 오페라의 창작자들에게 좋은 규범이 될 수 있다.

In David Henry Hwang's M. Butterfly and Shirley Lim's Joss and Gold, two Asian-American texts exploring the relationship between America and Asia, the classic Orientalist motif of the infinitely submissive oriental female is reworked to articulate an Asian response to American hegemony. Both works mobilize the Asian female as a figure of contestation to destabilize and reconceptualize the patriarchal and Orientalist strategies of Western cultural and political domination. This paper explores the tactically different though strategically similar counter-discursive moves adopted in the two works to suggest a broader cultural realignment in Asian-American relations.

As performing arts including operas are getting popular these days, the importance of stage costumes is strengthened. Stage costume is one of the artistic requisites for opera performance, it plays an important role in describing the play's situation, the director's style and the person's character. Nevertheless the study regarding the opera's costumes is not active, especially the comparative study on the same opera's costumes performed by different opera companies have hardly been made. Therefore this study compared 5 Manon Lescaut opera performances: the Metropolitan Opera(1980), the Flemish Opera(1991), the Metropolitan Opera(2008), the Seoul Metropolitan Opera(2010) and the Vienna State Opera(2010) and made clear the difference between the four. From this study, we can get the following conclusions. First, the Metropolitan Opera's costumes in 1980 act and in 2008 act ascertained Rococo dressing. Because the costume designer for both acts was the same person, the general costume styles of the two acts are similar. Second, as for the Flemish Opera and Seoul Metropolitan Opera, there was a significant drop in fancy details and trimmings in the costumes. But the costumes made strong impressions dues to its color and luminosity contrast. Third, Vienna State Opera costumes had the boldest designs and it reflected modern designs as well. This study is meaningful in that it is based on the comparison study on the same opera stage costumes designed by different directors. Afterward this study is expected to contribute toward study on opera stage costumes and stage costume's development.
