opera world: an overture for young people
Through a few short lessons in music theory, biographies of major composers, synopses of 14 major operas, and a “pre-and-post-opera” preparation program, the author provides an authentic and practical guide for anyone, particularly young adults, to really enjoy a night at the Opera.
This guidebook focuses on how Opera can enrich the lives of those who under-stand and appreciate this sophisticated and beautiful art form.
