Book Description
Excerpt from Adventures With the Opera The chapters which follow are merely adventures in the realm of opera. Recent books which touch upon various phases of the Opera are the basis of the course; selection, therefore, has been somewhat limited. No attempt has been made, nor has it been the intention of the writer, to present the material in any logical or historical sequence. It would be an endless task to try to make selective listings Of music from the operas for each subject. With the weekly Metropolitan broadcasts, and with the many new recordings now available, operatic music is easily within the reach of everyone. There are any number of adequate collections of scores and songs from the operas which can be bought or borrowed. It has, there fore, been left to the individuals who take part in the programs to use any of these means of introducing the music itself. Stories of the operas and librettos are listed in Chapter XII. The books mentioned in this chapter may be borrowed at any time during the course of the year's study. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work. Forgotten Books uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy.

Book Description
Excerpt from Tancredi: A Tale of the Opera; A Novel The wounded youth, Jarl the Miller's Boy, as he was called, was raised to his feet, and it was found that his right arm was frightfully lacerated. His face was ashy pale, but he uttered no word of distress. There was something wicked and startling in the proud bearing of his compact, graceful form, blemished though it was by torn garb and mangled arm. There was a look of mingled hate and defiance in his pallid face as he glared on the fierce brute now being dragged away by the servant, - a look so strik ing in its wild brave beauty that would attract the attention of the most indifferent looker-on.

Book Description
Excerpt from Mona Lisa: An Opera in Two Acts Mona Linof women's voices sings a Latin hymn withou't, and dianora enters to call her step-mother for early mass. She shows her the key - instead of falling into the river, it had fallen in her boat - and mona lisa taking it, sends her off, promising to join her later in church. She hesitates, but is about to open the door of the jewel-cabinet, when francesco comes in. He informs her that he has sought out messire salviati, to bring him the pearl but - that he had not returned home; and ironically adds that some love adventure has probably detained him. Mom 1.s then shows him the key, which he recognizes, but tells him that her maid, piccarda, coming in late, had brought it to her a few moments after he, F rancesco, had left her. The baffled F ran cesco concludes that she must have released giovanni, and is confirmed in his conviction by her mysteriously happy smile. In order to induce him to open the door, she unconcernedly suggests that he give her the string of pearls destined for Lucretia Borgia, that she may wear them around her neck; and when francesco, deceived, opens the outer door, mona lisa is close behind him. Unlocking the inner door, he starts back at the sight of his victim; but her demoniac suggestion to seize the robber within causes him to leap into the inner compartment. At once mona lisa flings herself against the door, turns the secret spring, and then locks the outer door as well. In reply to francesco's muffled cry of appeal from inside, she denounces his falsity and cruelty, and glories in the thought that he now must sufier what she did. While the church bells ring outside she clutches at her heart, and breaks down with the cry 0 Lord, have mercy!
