Here for the first time are in-depth profiles of 139 major opera
companies from around the globe, representing 35 countries, from
Argentina to Yugoslavia, and including little-known information on
opera in the People's Republic of China, Israel, Japan, the
Republic of South Africa, and Turkey. Briefly noted in an appendix
are an additional 24 companies from ten countries, three of them
not included in the main section.
The profiles provide directory and access information, a survey
of the company's history, and, wherever possible, a chronological
listing of directors and managers, and a concise bibliography for
further reference. An annotated research bibliography contains
general sources, such as reference books, opera annals,
architectural studies, discographies, and relevant studies of
conductors and performers. A chronology of the foundings of the
opera companies and an index complete the volume. Much of the
information is singularly available in this source, which will be
welcomed by scholars, researchers, and opera lovers.
