Book excerpt: “Opera is enjoyed only by those who know something about it. This is the idea behind this book... It was written for people who love opera and want to know a little more about its history and evolution, its lore and lure, and the people who create and re-create it.” — Joseph Wechsberg, Foreword to The Opera Joseph Wechsberg — musician and lifelong opera addict, claqueur, listener and critic — takes the reader on a journey through centuries of operatic history, from Dafne, performed during the 1590s, generally thought to be the first opera, to productions at La Scala, the Metropolitan or Vienna’s Staatsoper. He explains why, of the 42,000 operas said to have been written, only a few hundred survive. These classics are discussed, with analyses of their thematic components and musical qualities and biographical vignettes of their composers, and performers. “Mr. Wechsberg has written this book very much with the inexperienced opera-goer in mind... a readable and enjoyable summary of all that the novice to the opera house should know about. Within his survey appears a short account of operatic history and material on all the people concerned with opera: composers and librettists, singers, players, managers, conductors, producers, audiences, claques and critics.” — M.F.R., Music & Letters “Even the informed reader can learn from Wechsberg how to integrate his material and achieve a degree of perspective when viewing the enormous historical landscape that provides the background for the evolution of [the opera].” — Elaine Brody, Notes
Download or read book Grand Opera written by Anthony Gishford and published by Penguin Putnam. This book was released on 1972 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Anthony Gishford has collaborated with five other distinguished writers on opera, Harold Rosenthal, Tony Mayer, Horst Koegler, Patrick Carnegy and Richard Comyns Carr, to record the many widespread artistic achievements which this extravagant medium has inspired over the centuries. The text is written with a dry humor which, while not hesitating to poke fun at the pomopous targets of the opera world, never forgets that this is an art form which inspires passionate devotion as well as uncomprehending dismay. The book is divided into twelve national sections and within each of these the individual opera houses are separately treated. There has never, until now, been a book which attempted to explore this subject with such wide scope. Illustrations of the architecture, of historic performances, of programs, prints and all the lore of the operatic stage make the book a vivid contribution to this branch of theater history." --
