I am currently studying the art of Barnett Newman and his theories upon Nietzsche's Birth of Tragedy in his artwork. Do you think that there should initially be a justification to tragedy being found in the visual arts? Nietzsche believed that tragedy was born out of music. How would you go about justifying that the visual arts can also produce tragedy? Are there any contemporary philosophers that have written upon the subject and attempted explanation?

The current Metropolitan Opera production (Feb. 2017) is Antonin Dvorak's Rusalka.  This opera contains what may be viewed as current events references. 

The Grove Dictionary of Music entry on rhetoric and music states that after the Baroque period, the rhetorical underpinnings of music were no longer studied.  But in the 20th C., such highlighted rhetoric in art music is causing a revival of interest.

QUOTE

What still remains to be fully explained is how these critical interrelationships often controlled the craft of composition. These developments are unclear partly because modern musicians and scholars are untrained in the rhetorical disciplines, which since the beginning of the 19th century have largely disappeared from most educational and philosophical system. It was only in the early 20th century that music historians rediscovered the importance of rhetoric as the basis of aesthetic and theoretical concepts in earlier music. An entire discipline that had once been the common property of every educated man has had to be rediscovered and reconstructed during the intervening decades, and only now is it beginning to be understood how much Western art music has depended on rhetorical concepts.

Does anyone know of research that specifically analyzes the rhetorical aspects of modern era opera since Wagner to now?

Given that directors have much leeway in creating subtexts in classic and contemporary works, this is a topic that is open for more study.

I am currently writing my dissertation an in need of some resources and answers. I am looking for information of the development of musical theatre choreography (is modern musical theatre more technically and physically demanding?), does modern musical theatre OR dance cause more injury than in the past and do audiences have different expectations of dance or musical theatre dance? Any help, even if only remotely related, would be great!

I am not looking for stories abiout Shantala Devi. I need specific outlooks on dance in the temples.

In spite of an apparant invasion plan and a list of individuals to be rounded up following an invasion there is little to indicate that Hitler intended a full blown invasion and occupation of Britain in the early stages of WW2.

Hitler did however have a pathological obsession with destroying the Soviet Union and openly talked of expanding the Reich into Soviet territory.

Would, or more likely could Hitler have ever occupied Britain in 1940?  

I do a research about christianity & it's impacts on iranian art, but I have not seen a book or article about this in Iranian documents (in persian language). If some one knows references about this, pls. help me!
