The Times Opera Notes

Trama

Basic enough to be a cheat sheet for intimidated beginners, this guide is also sophisticated enough to be enjoyed by those who already love opera. Full coverage of major works by more than 30 composers, including Verdi, Wagner, Mozart, Puccini, Tchaikovsky, Handel, and Strauss, features a description of the plot and principal characters, along with a recommended recording.
