Review # 1 was written on 2014-05-22 00:00:00 Brian Anderson I picked up this book to use as a resource for an independent study course I was taking on the History of Classical Music and Opera. Turns out this book was amazing. It is a great starting point for those that may not know a lot about Opera. For those that know a bit about Opera, this offers quite a few new bits of information. Not only do you learn the basic definitions of opera, but you also get a bit of history and how opera has evolved through time. However, this book does not come with a CD so I recommend looking at Opera videos and songs through iTunes or YouTube or from your own collection.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-10-18 00:00:00 Jeff Walker I wanted a basic review of the history of opera and the major composers, works, and opera singers. This books is very approachable for the beginner. I had already read Berger's Verdi with a Vengeance, which is excellent, so I was happy to pick this up at the library. Great for everyone who has limited knowledge of opera and would like some more background to be able to appreciate the art form.
