Abstract

ABSTRACT This article examines several operatic adaptations of Shaw’s plays The Devil’s Disciple and The Music Cure. The focus is on how the musicality inherent in Shaw’s plays is so substantial that the plays almost come across as musical dramas or operatic scores. The article explores what inspired the composers, what has been changed to accommodate the new medium, and why these musical adaptations fail to make it into the general repertoire.
