Sobre este artículo
London: George G. Harrop, 1957. A Very Good+ unmarked copy with dustjacket which has wear to edges and a repaired closed tear and is not price clipped. 160 pages. 17 illustrations. This is a history of opera from its origins in 1600: from Peri and Monteverdi to Lully and Purcell, then through Handel and Gluck to its zenith, and on through Verdi, Wagner and Puccini to the present day. The book is written with a light touch and not too much detail, giving amusing and telling anecdotes of composers, singers and performances, and descriptions of the varying behaviours of opera audiences through the centuries. The operas of the great composers are given in more detail, with synopses of some works which are still performed and a list of the outstanding arias, etc., foe gramophone collectors. The last part of the book deals with the opera in England. It also includes some helpful hints on writing an opera. 1. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
