About this product

Product Information

An invaluable guide for both casual opera fans and aficionados, 100 Great Operas is perhaps the most comprehensive and enjoyable volume of opera stories ever written. From La Traviata to Aïda , from Carmen to Don Giovanni , here are the plots of the world's best-loved operas, told in an engaging, picturesque, and readable manner. Written by noted opera authority Henry W. Simon, this distinctive reference book contains act-by-act descriptions of 100 operatic works ranging from the historic early seventeenth century masterpieces of Monteverdi to the modern classics of Gian-Carlo Menotti. In addition to highlighting the most important aspects of each opera, the author discusses the main characters, the famous turnings of plot, and the most significant arias. Here, too, is a wealth of anecdotes concerning literary background, past performances and stars, and production problems of the great operas.

Tracking number didn’t work which was a bit of a pain but item came earlier than expected. The item was packaged very well. Being a record it’s hard to be perfect quality considering its age but was as good and exactly as presented by seller. Overall good experience and would buy from seller again!

    Condense, but not like my original.

    I20 years ago I actually had a large hardcover of this book. This book, which was lost in a move, had all the operas in four languages. I actually though this was the same book but in paperback. This condensed book is a good reference guide.

    100 Grear Operas

    Go alot to the opera, and wanted a book that gave the outlines of the opera. This book does just that in clear and fun reading. Have used the book a few times already. The only problem is the book is not new and the print small, but hay one hundred operas in one book, probably contains all the operas I'll get to see. Good buy.
