Leitmotive

The Journal of The Wagner Society of Northern California

Leitmotive was created in 1988 and publishes a mix of scholarly essays, historical notes, theoretical debates and philosophical considerations, and performance, record, video, and book reviews. It is unusual in being open to contributions both from professional scholars and from interested members.

AUTHORS’ SUBMISSIONS

Leitmotive  encourages both the academic and informed lay persons to submit articles for possible publication.

All articles are subject to the approval of the Editorial Board.  Articles are subject to editing; however, an edited draft will be available for review by the author.

It is recommended that prior to spending significant time writing an article for this journal prospective authors contact the editor to discuss the proposed article, determining thereby the probability of publication, desirable length, and similar issues.  All inquiries will receive a prompt reply.

The Editor can be reached, as follows:

U.S. MAIL: P.O. Box 590990, San Francisco, CA 94159

TELEPHONE: (415) 340-0715

Or via e-mail:  leitmotivejournal@gmail.com

NOTE:  We receive many more performance reviews than we have space to publish.  Further, it is desirable that the author recognize that Leitmotive is a journal and, therefore, is not timely in the sense of a daily newspaper.  Accordingly, performance reviews, in general, will be of interest to our readers if they succinctly describe any unique elements of the performance or staging.  Authors of performance reviews should make arrangements with the Press Office of the opera house at the time of the performance for the use of photographs, including permission to publish.
