These Opera Guides are ideal companions to the opera. They provide
stimulating introductory articles together with the complete text
of each opera in English and the original. 'Puccini's motto could
be: "The maximum effect with the simplest means",' suggests Bernard
Keeffe. He analyses different aspects of the score, noting
particularly Puccini's genius for orchestration, and the infinitely
subtle effects that give the melodrama irresistible vitality.
Stuart Woolfe's scholarly assessment of the significance of the
historical themes for Puccini explains many of the motives of the
protagonists. Tosca is a supreme example of music's power to
enthral an audience and Bernard Williams discusses the particular
quality of its appeal.
