What is opera and how does it work? How has this dramatic form
developed and what is its relevance in the modern world? Perfect
for music students and opera-goers, this introductory guide
addresses these questions and many more, exploring opera as a
complete theatrical experience. Organised chronologically and
avoiding technical musical terminology, the book clearly
demonstrates how opera reflected and reacted to changes in the
world around it. A special feature of the volume is the inclusion
of illustrative tables throughout. These provide detailed, easy to
follow analysis of arias, scenes and acts; visual guides to
historical movements; and chronologies relating to genres and
individual composers' works. Overall, the book fosters an
understanding of opera as a living form as it encounters and uses
material from an ever expanding repertoire in time, place and
culture.
