Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'The Opera: A Sketch of the Development of Opera' offers a comprehensive exploration of the evolution of one of the world's most complex and celebrated art forms. Authored by the noted music critic R. A. Streatfeild, this guide traces the history of opera from its experimental beginnings in the late Renaissance through its various transformations across Europe, culminating in the major works of the early 20th century.The work provides detailed analyses of the technical and stylistic shifts that shaped the genre, highlighting the contributions of masters such as Monteverdi, Gluck, Mozart, Wagner, and Verdi. Beyond its historical narrative, 'The Opera' serves as an invaluable reference, providing full descriptions and plot summaries for the works in the modern repertory. Streatfeild's prose balances scholarly insight with accessible commentary, making it an essential resource for both seasoned opera-goers and newcomers to the lyric stage.
