No Flaws or Blemishes but minimal shelf handling; and a gift inscription on the front-free-endpage. 10.75 inches tall; 398 pages with illustrations. A definitive reference encompassing over 2,000 entries on composers, librettists, singers, and productions, developed in collaboration with Milan’s famed Teatro alla Scala. Edited by Italian music critic Giorgio Bagnoli (1937–2014) and produced under the auspices of La Scala, this encyclopedia remains one of the most comprehensive English-language opera references. Richly illustrated with production photographs, portraits, and set designs, it serves both as a scholarly resource and a visually engaging celebration of operatic history from Monteverdi to the late 20th century. Subjects: La Scala, Opera, Giorgio Bagnoli, Music Encyclopedias, Classical Music, Italian Opera, Music Reference, Opera History, Performing Arts.
