The Story of Opera, by Richard Somerset-Ward, First Edition, 1998
Whether you love Mozart or Puccini; Caruso, Callas, or Pavarotti; here’s a book sure to delight both longtime opera lovers and those new to this most dramatic of all musical forms.
Published on the 400th anniversary of the first performance of the very first opera, this richly illustrated volume presents a wealth of performance photographs, stage designs, and paintings. It brings the history of opera to life through the individual stories of the hundreds of people who created it-composers, librettists, impresarios, conductors, directors, and, of course, singers.
Richard Somerset-Ward is former head of Music & Arts Programming for BBC Television, where he was responsible for many opera broadcasts and recordings.
