Book Description
Excerpt from Stories of Popular Operas The object of these stories is therefore to enable the reader to follow every motion of the singers, and, even if unfamiliar with the language in which the opera is given, to have a fair idea of all that is said and done. For this reason the plots are told in detail, just as they are given, no attempt being made to embellish or modify them in any Way. Many of the sub jects are trivial, some absurd, and a few so un savory that one often wishes that the beautiful music were connected with more worthy themes. However, such as these operas are, they are given here, in the hope of enhancing the pleas 'ure of all who hear them.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Story of Opera Histories of Opera are not very numerous: there have been many articles and essays in various maga zines, dictionaries, and so forth which have presented more or less concise synopses of the gradual develop ment and growth Of the Operatic Art. Some Of these, notably the one in Grove's Dictionary, are excellent, but a work Of such bulk is not for the everyday reader, nor, generally speaking, for the amateur. Beyond these magazine and dictionary essays the number of books - at any rate in the English language - solely on Opera is very limited, and from the nature Of the case, those that exist soon get out Of date.
