Each entry in this New Grove series of composers and their operas
is based on articles in The New Grove Dictionary of Opera, that
feature information on the lives of individual composers, their
works, their librettists and interpreters, and the places where
they performed. These unique books compile the meticulously
researched articles into organized narratives, designed to make
finding information as easy as possible without sacrificing
readability. Each volume is completely up-to-date, and includes a
suggested listening guide and an eight-page glossy insert
containing relevant illustrations. Each volume is a must-own for
lovers of opera and classical music.
One of the best known and most admired figures in European music
was Wolfgang Amade Mozart. His short but colorful life is of
enduring interest, and his works remain central to the repertories
of classical music. This book gives a concise and scholarly account
of Mozart's activities as a composer of operas. It includes a
concise biography, orientated towards the operas; an essay on
Mozart's operatic contribution and style, and the antecedents to
his operas; a separate synopsis and historical account of each
opera; and three essays which bind into narrative form the
dictionary entries on librettists, interpreters, and venues. There
is a new introduction, a glossary of relevant terms, a list of
operatic roles, and a guide to listening.
