A green cloth bound, hardback book, with gilt titles on both the front board and spine, Comes with dust jacket, that has a translucent cover for extra protection. As this is a used book, normal wear and tear apply, consistent with use and age. This wonderful book is in really good condition. 101 pages all intact and nice tight binding. All pages, text, gorgeous illustrations are in nice, clean condition. The production of "The Rape of Lucretia" at Glyndebourne was, together with "Peter Grimes" a signpost in the history of music, pointing to the flowering of Benjamin Britten's genius and to the revival of British Opera.
