Book Description:

In its revised third edition, this volume argues that an appreciation of opera is based on an understanding of several key aspects: history, language, theatrical production, the power of the conductor, vocal tradition and standard repertory. The author discusses how opera has changed in the last three decades and how it is now more easily enjoyed than ever before.
