Description
The Grove Book of Operas brings together over 250 leading operas in a comprehensive and insightful guide. With more than one hundred illustrations and halftones, this authoritative book provides detailed synopses, cast lists, and information on the origins and literary background of each work. Each entry is written by a leading authority and includes a full synopsis, notes on the singers in the original production, and a brief comment on its place in operatic history. A glossary offers definitions of unfamiliar terms, while indices allow readers to find specific operas or arias. This second edition updates the book with recent compositions and a new introductory essay on opera performance in the 21st century. With its wealth of information and accessible language, The Grove Book of Operas is an essential resource for anyone interested in opera, including performers, students, and enthusiasts.
