This book has synopses for 73 popular operas by 27 composers. There's a short bio of each composer, and a little background info on each opera, like the date of the premier and maybe the original cast.

The synopses are grouped by composer, and the composers are in alphabetical order by last name. Sometimes the author calls the opera by the original name, sometimes he uses an English translation. I can't find anything about the author but he... read more
