Today more and more people are discovering how satisfying and entertaining opera can be. This book is designed specifically for such newcomers to the delights of opera, who would find the original "Kobbe's Complete Opera Book" too detailed. In this edition, Lord Harewood has selected 32 operas and gives a list of characters, a summary of the plot, a brief performance history and a short critical appraisal of each.
