In his last work, one of the great philosophers of the 20th century
explores the pleasures of opera Bernard Williams, who died in 2003,
was one of the most influential moral philosophers of his
generation. A lifelong opera lover, his articles and essays, talks
for the BBC, contributions to the Grove Dictionary of Opera, and
program notes for the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, and the
English National Opera, generated a devoted following. This elegant
volume brings together these widely scattered and largely
unobtainable pieces, including two that have not been previously
published. It covers an engaging range of topics from Mozart to
Wagner, including sparkling essays on specific operas by those
composers as well as Verdi, Puccini, Strauss, Debussy, Janacek, and
Tippett. Reflecting Williams's brilliance, passion, and clarity of
mind, these essays engage with, and illustrate, the enduring appeal
of opera as an art form.
