“Music theater exists on some long low branch in an ecstatic tangle of phylogenies and ontologies from all over the bush. Opera, dance, art, poetry, theater, film, photography, cabaret—even, in the early days, architecture and political activism—can be seen in its genetic soup. Examples of early music theater have been found on many terrains, on several continents at once—its place as an essential literary and dramatic form continually substantiated. Although it is impossible to locate an original or originating model, we can, by the tracks left for us to follow, easily see that music theater has grown from a small phenomenon to a major movement.” —Thalia Field
