Updated and expanded version of the classic reference work, The
Illustrated Encyclopedia of Opera, this new text edition examines
the history and development of opera, from its roots in the
theatrical choral dances of Ancient Greece, through the sublime
compositions of Handel and Mozart and on to the groundbreaking
works of Verdi, Wagner and beyond. Organised by era, the composers
and their works, along with the key librettists and singers of the
period, are placed in their historical, social and cultural context
through extensive introductory sections. Cross-references and theme
boxes allow the reader to follow a particular area of interest
throughout the book, or to explore related information. The
comprehensive text brings to life the splendour and emotional
energy of the best operas, performers and companies.
