The Standard Operas: Their Plots, Their Music And Their Composers is a comprehensive guide to the world's most beloved operas. Written by George Upton, a music critic and historian of the late 19th century, the book provides a detailed analysis of the plots, music, and composers of over 100 operas. The book is divided into three parts: the first part covers the history of opera and its development over time, the second part provides a detailed synopsis of each opera, and the third part delves into the lives and works of the composers. Each opera is presented in a clear and concise manner, with a synopsis of the plot, a list of the characters, and a brief analysis of the music. The book covers a wide range of operas, from the classics of Mozart and Verdi to the lesser-known works of contemporary composers. In addition to the detailed analysis of the operas, the book also includes a glossary of musical terms, a timeline of opera history, and a list of recommended recordings. Overall, The Standard Operas: Their Plots, Their Music And Their Composers is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in opera, providing a wealth of information and insights into the world of this timeless art form.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
