Masterpieces of World Opera
39.99 €
For connoisseurs and opera lovers, this book is a real literary monument and an art history rarity. It is based on the legendary "Melomaniac's Companion", created by David Margolin, a major public figure, famous theater-goer and patron of the arts, in 1908. However, the book has not lost its relevance today, since most of the great operas were written before the beginning of the twentieth century. And for the novice theatergoer, this book is the best introduction to the vast world of opera: in addition to the librettos of more than 60 great operas, it includes information about their first productions on the stages of Western and Russian theaters with an indication of the vocal cast and actors, quotations from arias and brief critical and biographical notes on the composers. The real adornment of the book are sketches of scenery and costumes, portraits of composers and illustrations of scenes from operas, created by outstanding Russian and foreign artists, including: I. Bilibin, A. Golovin, V. Vasnetsov, I. Repin, E. Ponomarev, A. Rackham, B. Shaw, E. Bayard, I. Lecomte and many other masters of the XVIII-XX centuries.
