"There are many books on the market which provide detailed synopses of operas, but few which are as accessible to the casual reader as this one. It is lavishly illustrated and very comprehensive, full of fascinating snippets and not the least bit stuffy. No music lover & rsquo;s bookshelf should be without a copy. & rdquo; -- Bryn Terfel"Packed into every page of this book is the excitement of discovery, knowledge, taste and visual beauty. In some way, it all gives the reader the illusion of being at an actual performance."--Plácido Domingo "Opera is a beautiful guide for opera enthusias.;Introducing opera -- What is opera? -- Librettos and librettists -- Staging opera -- Opera houses and festivals -- Idols of opera -- Monteverdi to Mozart, c. 1600-1800 -- Italian opera, c. 1800-1925 -- Germanic opera, c. 1800-1950 -- French opera, c. 1790-1900 -- Russian opera, c. 1830-1960 -- Czech opera, c.1860-1940 -- Modern opera, c. 1900-
