A Book of Operas is a classic opera guide by Henry Edward Krehbiel. The history of what is popularly called Italian opera begins in the United States with a performance of Rossini's lyrical comedy Il Barbiere di Siviglia; it may, therefore, fittingly take the first place in these operatic studies. The place was the Park Theatre, then situated in Chambers Street, east of Broadway, and the date November 29, 1825. It was not the first performance of Italian opera music in America, however, nor yet of Rossini's merry work. In the early years of the nineteenth century New York was almost as fully abreast of the times in the matter of dramatic entertainments as London. Contents: Il barbiere de Siviglia -- Le nozze di Figaro -- Die Zauberflöte -- Don Giovanni -- Fidelio -- Faust -- Mefistofele -- La damnation de Faust -- La traviata -- Aïda -- Der Freischütz -- Tannhäuser -- Tristan und Isolde -- Parsifal -- Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg -- Lohengrin -- Hänsel and Gretel.
