Publisher Comments:

Now available in an affordable paperback format, "The Story of Opera>" celebrates the 400-year history of opera. With separate chapters devoted to the great national schools of opera-Italian, German, French, and Russian-it tells the stories of composers, librettists, impresarios, singers, conductors, and even audiences.
