Description

In this volume Father M. Owen Lee writes for the 21st-century operagoer briskly and stylishly telling the stories of 100 of the world's greatest music dramas a from EA-daE to EDie ZauberfleteE. The stories told in music by Mozart Wagner Verdi Puccini and Strauss are brought to life here with wit insight and boundless enthusiasm. When compiling and composing this pocket-sized handbook Fr. Lee considered the unique needs of the modern operagoer. Contemporary text-translating services have made pure synopses somewhat redundant. Fr. Lee therefore has focused his commentaries less on the comings and goings of plot than on subtext motivation and background information. He also suggests his single favorite recording for each of the 100 operas discussed. In all he has written a guide that will prove invaluable to the opera novice and useful even for the aficionado.
