Have you ever heard the beauty and power of an opera voice or felt
moved by a story told in a language you don't even know?
Highlighting 165 works and their composers, this guide is a perfect
introduction to opera - one of the world's most dramatic art forms.
This illustrated book is packed full of photography to showcase the
greatest operas and will take you on a journey through the history
of opera itself. Discover the basics: how opera developed, types of
voices, and theatrical staging - including a look at stunning opera
houses around the globe. See the composers who first moulded the
art form and those who made it their own. Enjoy 400 years of
musical drama from late-Renaissance Italy to works from
contemporary names, and immerse yourself in the stories of more
than 160 operas - including Le Nozze di Figaro (The Marriage of
Figaro), Carmen, La Boheme, and Madama Butterfly - through
act-by-act synopses. With operatic works throughout history
organised by geographical region, Opera is essential reading,
whether you are a season ticket-holder looking for a quick brush-up
before a performance, or new to opera and want to know more.
