About This Book

A collection retells the plots of numerous operas in plain narrative prose, turning each libretto into a concise short story that preserves principal scenes and dramatic incidents. Selections span comic and tragic repertory across many composers, arranged for ease of reference and accompanied by illustrations and brief composer biographies. Prefatory material explains the editorial plan and sources, and the volume brings together previously issued series with additional popular works newly included to offer opera-goers and general readers clear, readable synopses for study or casual enjoyment.
