Description/Abstract
This article considers the use of female archetypes in recent text-settings. The author notes the use of gendered analogies for discussing interdisciplinary work, comments on the depiction of women in opera, and focuses on recent works by Heiner Goebbels and Dominique le Gendre. He assesses the importance of the mute role in Gerald Barry's opera The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant (2005), considers the recreation of the Diana myth in The Assassin Tree (2004), and comments on Judith Weir's setting of Emily Dickinson.
