Description

The first part of the book (chapters 1-3) is about what goes on behind the scenes in an opera house : how the performance is planned, how the singers are chosen, trained and rehearsed, who runs the stage and how everything is organized. The second half presents the music and words of scenes from six famous operas, which make their effect in different ways. Questions and projects conclude each chapter.
