This volume of eleven essays, compiled as a tribute to Winton Dean
on his seventieth birthday, focuses on that area which has absorbed
Winton Dean's interest throughout his distinguished career: opera
and other theatre music. The first half of the book covers the
period from the late seventeenth century to the mid-eighteenth. The
second half of the book ranges over later opera: operacomique;
Mendelssohn's operas; the influence of Wagner; the finales of
Janacek's operas; and Britten's first two major operas, Peter
Grimes and The Rape of Lucretia.
