Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Standard Operas: Their Plots, Their Music, and Their Composers; A Handbook Being to give musically uneducated lovers of opera a clear understanding of the works they are likely to hear, and thus heighten their enjoyment.

In the preparation of the Handbook, the compiler acknowledges his indebt edness to Grove's excellent Dictionary of Music for dates and other statistical information and he has also made free use of standard musical works in his library for historical events connected with the per formance and composition of the operas. It only remains to submit this work to opera-goers with the hope that it may add to their enjoyment and prove a valuable addition to their libraries.
