Mercifully brief summaries of classic operas.
Raises the interesting question; to what degree are we better off ignorant? Knowing the plot of Die Meistersinger von Numberg in no way helps you appreciate the music. It might even detract from the experience. Could be better off sitting back, letting the music wash over you, and making a story up in your own head.

Very interesting book for anyone wishing to read plot summaries of some of the great Operas. Before I see one, I always like to know the story, who the characters are, and what is going on. Then I can sit back and enjoy the music and singing!

This work is for those who love opera or those who are curious about the plots of famous operas but really don't want to go watch all of them. Perhaps, you have even seen and opera and still had no idea what the plot was, this book is for you. Though for most, it would be a reference book, used on occasion to answer specific questions, not to read through all the plots. It contains the plots of 150 of the world's most popular operas; there are also short, informative biographies of each of the 72 composers represented, and historical background material pertinent to each work.
