Opera - Composers, Works, Performers 2009

Ten years ago the first edition of Opera - Composers, Works, Performers was published - a magnificent and richly illustrated volume that was highly acclaimed. Now, after considerable developments in opera and with the art form more popular than ever before, a completely revised edition has been published by h.f. Ullmann that will take operas and their transformation on stage and make them more accessible to all.

Arranged alphabetically by composer, the new reference work will keep opera aficionados up-to-date with both classical and modern opera from Verdi to Handel and from Mozart and Britten to Puccini. Opera has all the must-know essentials and more, from opera houses and performers to characters and sequences of scenes, as well as all the latest developments in opera, including previously unpublished set designs.

A fabulous Christmas present, this beautiful book contains features on the 358 most important works in the history of opera as well as biographies of their 140 opera composers, all written by internationally renowned experts. Each composer portrait includes an overview of works, life events, a brief characterisation of the composer in an operatic, historical context, followed by descriptions of the individual operas. With opera having been a vital part of European culture for 400 years, this new volume covers the majority of the long history of opera.
