From The Cover: As never before, the opera is enjoying a huge world-wide popularity. Video recordings and opera films have introduced opera to millions, and co-productions are now making it possible for operagoers to experience outstanding performances that otherwise would not have been staged.

This lively and informative book not only chronicles the development of opera from Monteverdi to the present day; with a fine collection of photographs of opera performances and opera stars, it is a guide to the operas most widely seen in recent years - in opera houses and theatres, on television and at the cinema.

Here are the well known favourites of Puccini, Verdi and Mozart, Wagner and Strauss and the challenging operas by composers such as Britten, Birtwhistle, Glass and Tippett, many stunningly produced with sets and costumes that put opera in the vanguard of theatre production. Here too are the singers, both national and international, who, with rare talent, sensationally bring the hero's and heroines of opera to life.

Superbly illustrated with 150 colour photographs, A Guide To The Opera is a wonderful gift for every lover of opera.
